How to display blinking text over an image in Corona SDK? -


i seem have serious problems here - i'm trying display image , transition in, have blinking text on @ bottom.

function splash()    local item = display.newimage("splashimage.png")    item.x = display.contentwidth*0.5    item.y = display.contentheight*0.5    item.alpha=0    transition.to(item, {time =1500, alpha=1, oncomplete=blink}) end  -- blinking text  function blink()    text = display.newtext("this blinking text", 100, 100, "arial", 22)    text.x = display.contentwidth/2    text.y = display.contentheight/1.2    text.alpha=0 transition.to(text, {time =1500, alpha=1, oncomplete=blink2}) end  function blink2()    if (text.alpha > 0)                  [--this line broken apparently]       transition.to(text, {time=1500, alpha=0})    else       transition.to(text, {time=1500, alpha=1})    end end  txt_blink = timer.performwithdelay(500, blink2, 0)

code breaks error "attempt index upvalue 'text' (a nil value)"

i'm total noob @ gentle!

your problem that, when blink2() called looks object "text" not created in time. should check first if there object called "text" or not. here new blink2() function you:

function blink2()     if text ~= nil         if (text.alpha > 0)             transition.to(text, {time=1500, alpha=0})         else             transition.to(text, {time=1500, alpha=1})         end     end end

linux - Does gcc have any options to add version info in ELF binary file? -

i mean whether gcc can insert source code version infor elf binary section or similar. not want change source file, add info gcc option in makefile. you can emit version info text file, turn text file object file statically link executable. the first step simple have write code: script or write version info in format plain text file. write makefile rule produce version.o version.txt, using objcopy . you'll have object file 2 useful symbols defined in it: beginning , end of textual version info. add generated object executable, , you'll able access version 2 ways: running strings on binary, or writing code in application print version string (you'll need declare start , end symbols variables in header file).
