  • h
    I am using it right now
  • e
    i havent touched flixel in forever
  • e
    but i know that FlxText has a lot of issues
  • s
    So would 
    FlxBitmapText.setBorderStyle(OUTLINE)
    work as a general outline, then 
    using borderSize:Float = 2
    give it an outline of 2px?
  • e
    source:
  • h
    the colored texts are 
    FlxBitmapText
    and have both 
    color
    and 
    setBorderStyle(FlxTextBorderStyle.OUTLINE, Colors.BLACK, 2);
    on them
  • s
    Pretty.
  • p
    Color for FlxBitmapText borders don't quite work for me, at least when using SHADOW
  • h
    For me my text is solid white although I guess I could have a slight monochrome gradient And the border is black - color is additive and it does color the border
  • s
    you can also have the image being a vertical strip of all options and do some sort of "infinite scroll" with modulo
  • w
    yeah the shadow on text works like coloring the text itself
  • w
    black outlines should always work
  • h
  • w
    the spin effect? lookin pretty snazzy
  • h
    Yeah
  • h
    clipRect
    to the rescue
  • p
    A black shadow always works, but if I want a yellow text with a blue shadow, the colors mess up somehow
  • p
    Don't quite remember how, was just reminded of this issue by y'all talking about it
  • p
    I think by default it makes the shadow the same color as the text (yellow) and then colors that with blue, resulting in green
  • s
    doesn't load for me nvm it looks nice
  • w
    Actually I think if the text is yellow in the source image you can have a blue shadow
  • w
    but if the text is white in the image (which is common) then you're setting the FlxBitmapText yellow via myText.color = 0xFFffff00 which affects the shadow
  • w
    but i would need to test this
  • p
    Aah yeah that's what I meant
  • p
    When you change the text color using 
    color
    it also sets the shadow to that color
  • p
    And when you then set the shadow color to something else, you get a mix
  • a
    are there some flx classes that have a public variable that is a FlxSkewedSprite
  • a
    just curious
  • t
    not sure, you can check the docs, it's most likely to be there
  • a
    checked the github and thats all i found
