You haven't shown enough of your code. Show us the loop code.

But just as a guess, do you have a sync command in the loop?

I assume you have text = createText() or something similar?

I'm on a mac right now so can't test any BASIC code.

Just for clarity, add a ', 1' to the inc statement so you have:

inc TextSize, 1

haliop, have you provided the entire code? It may be something to do with how you have set up your display (Virtual vs Percentage). I have copied your code exactly, and it works fine on my machine...

If you are using the percentage system then I believe this is your problem...

You currently have this:



Lets say for arguments sake your text width is 200. You are trying to position the text at 150 (50 + (TextWidth / 2)) which would be way off the screen (the total screen size when working with percentage would be 100x100)...

Just for clarity you don't need to set the position and alignment every loop to get that effect, just the text size.


this.mess = abs(sin(times#))
