(solved)How can I clear the Text?

mertocan

In my game , point is written on the stage, but when it increases the appearance goes bad and nothing could be read. I think i have to clear field, before i write the point again. How can I clear? or do you have any recommendation?

What was the solution?

That sounds like you are creating a new text field every time you are updating the score/points! So what you see is several textfields stack on top of each other. Don't create new text fields. Just change the value of one.

You can change the text via the SETTEXT method.

Yes mike i was creating new text fields everytime. I solved it with removechild() didnt use settext

My 2 cents, but setText should be a little more optimized, than removing and adding element from scratch.

@ar2rsawseen that was for @atilim?

ar2rsawseen

well more like suggestion for @mertocan, but I never mind if @atilim confirms my thoughts.

@ar2rsawseen oh yes yes, setText is much more efficient (I'm coming from behind and trying to catch you )
