    error: String compatibility.lua

    simransimran Member
    edited May 2014 in General questions
    in function 'func'
    [string "compatibility.lua"]:32: in function <[string "compatibility.lua"]:31>

    I have this piece of code and as soon as the text is displayed, it gives me the above mentioned error:

    function youLoose()
    local font2 = TTFont.new("billo.ttf", 20, " 1234567890abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ")
    LooserText = TextField.new(font2, "You Loose :p :P , Try AGAIN?")
    LooserText:setPosition(100, 100)
    stage:addChild(LooserText)
    Timer = Timer.delayedCall(1000, removing)
    end

    function removing()
    LooserText:getParent():removeChild(LooserText)
    end
    stage: addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnter)

      @simran was there anything else to the error?
      And if you comment out stage:addChild call does the error still happen?

      Also don't override Timer class, as you won't be able to use it anymore

      @ar2rsawseen: If I remove stage: addChild, the error does no happen, but neither does text show up, so how am I supposed to render text? and yes, I changed Timer to timer, I thbk, that's what you meant that i shall not be overriding timer class , right?

      interesting, but I really don't know what it could have to do with it.

      Are you sure you are not overriding LooserText somewhere else in the code to being some other value?

      Another point that I noticed, that you provide cached symbols to TTFont, and then you use smilies and punctuation which are not provided as cached symbols, but this again most probably won't produce the error.

      Is it really no more error text in there?

      Can you prepare smallest example possible replicating the error and post here?

      Yes, I added those cached symbols later on, the symbols which I did not cache were just missing and rendered when I later added them to the cache.
      Sure, I will just post the concise example for the same with the exact error message.
