    Texture-Filled Shape : setTexture

    edited October 2013 in General questions
    This works:
    niceShape = Shape.new()
niceMatrix = Matrix.new(1, 0, 0, 1, -640, -960)
niceTexture = Texture.new("image1.png")
 
niceShape:setFillStyle(Shape.TEXTURE, niceTexture, niceMatrix)
 
niceShape:beginPath()
niceShape:moveTo(0,0)
niceShape:lineTo(-640,0)
niceShape:lineTo(-640,-960)
niceShape:lineTo(0,-960)
niceShape:closePath()
niceShape:endPath()
 
niceShape:setX(500) 
niceShape:setY(700)
niceShape:setScale(0.5)
 
stage:addChild(niceShape)
    but when I subsequently try this:
    niceTexture:setTexture("image2.png")
    or this:
    niceTexture:setTexture(Texture.new("image2.png"))
    I get the following error:
    "attempt to call method 'setTexture' (a nil value)"
    Any help would be appreciated.

      Texture itself represents one graphical file, changing texture of texture would be like changing contents of the file.
      What, as I understood, you want to achieve, is to change the fill texture of the Shape.

      There are 2 ways to do it:

      1) call niceShape:clear() and do all the same thing again you did in first snippet but with other texture
      2) use RenderTarget to fill the Shape, and simply change what you render in RenderTarget by calling draw method

      Hope that helps ;)

      Thanks very much.

      Since "setTexture" works perfectly well on the texture-filled "Bitmap" class, I assumed it would work in exactly the same way on the texture-filled "Shape" class.

      Oh well.
