I want the score in my game to “expand” at the end of the level, drawing attention to it.

How can I achieve this?

(my experimentation to use animation on font size has not been successful)

Hah, it turns out to be easy.

This does not work:

        Behavior on font.pixelSize {

            NumberAnimation {
                target: scoreDisplay.font
                property: "pixelSize"
                duration: 500
                easing.type: Easing.InOutQuad
            }

        }

 
This does work:

 

        Behavior on font.pixelSize {

            NumberAnimation {
                target: scoreDisplay
                property: "font.pixelSize"
                duration: 500
                easing.type: Easing.InOutQuad
            }

        }

Hi Martin,

you don’t need to set the target property of the animation when using a Behavior. You already define the target as you are attaching the Behavior to an item, this item is the targer, and you are adding a behavior to it’s font.pixelSize property.

Cheers,
Alex
