Animating labels in Corona SDK

1
votes

Is it possible to create some sort of animation for a label in Corona SDK? I want to make a text appear big then, the position will move after it comes up and shrinks? I don't want to use an image because the text on my label changes. If it is possible, can you please point me to the right direction? Thank you.

Is this is what you are looking..?

local label = display.newText("Label_1",50,100,nil,20)

local function transition_3()
   label.text = "Label_3"
   transition.to(label,{time=1000,xScale=1,yScale=1})
end
local function transition_2()
   label.text = "Label_2"
   transition.to(label,{time=1000,x=label.x+50,y=label.y+50,onComplete=transition_3})
end
transition.to(label,{time=1000,xScale=1.5,yScale=1.5,onComplete=transition_2})

Keep coding........ :)

What krs said -- basically, a text object is a display object just like an image. You can do just about anything to a text object that you can do to an image.
