If you are following this tutorial in 2017 and have problems with the textfield, here is the new way of doing it on starling version 2.2 Here is all the code you need to write on the addedToStage function: scoreText = new TextField(300, 100, "SCORE: 0",new TextFormat(Assets.getFont().name,24,0xffffff)); scoreText.format.horizontalAlign = Align.LEFT; scoreText.format.verticalAlign = Align.TOP; scoreText.x = 80; scoreText.y = 20; scoreText.border = true; scoreText.height = scoreText.textBounds.height + 10; this.addChild(scoreText); And here is the extra class you need to import besides the ones he already mentioned: import starling.text.TextFormat; import starling.utils.Align; Also note that utils VAlign and utils HAling do not exist in 2.2, instead they became utils.Aling I recommend anyone following this to check the "starling 2 migration guide at wiki.starling-framework. org/manual/starling_2_migration_guide (there is a space before org on purpose, remove that and copy the link)
