BitmapText objects work by taking a texture file and an XML or JSON file that describes the font structure.
During rendering for each letter of the text is rendered to the display, proportionally spaced out and aligned to match the font structure.
Dynamic Bitmap Text objects are different from Static Bitmap Text in that they invoke a callback for each letter being rendered during the render pass. This callback allows you to manipulate the properties of each letter being rendered, such as its position, scale or tint, allowing you to create interesting effects like jiggling text, which can't be done with Static text. This means that Dynamic Text takes more processing time, so only use them if you require the callback ability they have.
BitmapText objects are less flexible than Text objects, in that they have less features such as shadows, fills and the ability to use Web Fonts, however you trade this flexibility for rendering speed. You can also create visually compelling BitmapTexts by processing the font texture in an image editor, applying fills and any other effects required.
To create multi-line text insert \r, \n or \r\n escape codes into the text string.
To create a BitmapText data files you need a 3rd party app such as:
BMFont (Windows, free): http://www.angelcode.com/products/bmfont/ Glyph Designer (OS X, commercial): http://www.71squared.com/en/glyphdesigner Snow BMF (Web-based, free): https://snowb.org/ Littera (Flash-based, free): http://kvazars.com/littera/
For most use cases it is recommended to use XML. If you wish to use JSON, the formatting should be equal to the result of converting a valid XML file through the popular X2JS library. An online tool for conversion can be found here: http://codebeautify.org/xmltojson

Type:
Description:
The horizontal scroll factor of this Game Object.
The scroll factor controls the influence of the movement of a Camera upon this Game Object.
When a camera scrolls it will change the location at which this Game Object is rendered on-screen. It does not change the Game Objects actual position values.
A value of 1 means it will move exactly in sync with a camera. A value of 0 means it will not move at all, even if the camera moves. Other values control the degree to which the camera movement is mapped to this Game Object.
Please be aware that scroll factor values other than 1 are not taken in to consideration when calculating physics collisions. Bodies always collide based on their world position, but changing the scroll factor is a visual adjustment to where the textures are rendered, which can offset them from physics bodies if not accounted for in your code.
Type:
Description:
The vertical scroll factor of this Game Object.
The scroll factor controls the influence of the movement of a Camera upon this Game Object.
When a camera scrolls it will change the location at which this Game Object is rendered on-screen. It does not change the Game Objects actual position values.

Description:
The current state of this Game Object.
Phaser itself will never modify this value, although plugins may do so.
Use this property to track the state of a Game Object during its lifetime. For example, it could change from a state of 'moving', to 'attacking', to 'dead'. The state value should be an integer (ideally mapped to a constant in your game code), or a string. These are recommended to keep it light and simple, with fast comparisons. If you need to store complex data about your Game Object, look at using the Data Component instead.
Type:

Description:
Creates and returns a Bitmap Mask. This mask can be used by any Game Object, including this one, or a Dynamic Texture.
Note: Bitmap Masks only work on WebGL. Geometry Masks work on both WebGL and Canvas.
To create the mask you need to pass in a reference to a renderable Game Object. A renderable Game Object is one that uses a texture to render with, such as an Image, Sprite, Render Texture or BitmapText.
If you do not provide a renderable object, and this Game Object has a texture, it will use itself as the object. This means you can call this method to create a Bitmap Mask from any renderable texture-based Game Object.
Parameters:
| name | type | arguments | description |
|---|---|---|---|
| maskObject | Phaser.GameObjects.GameObject | Phaser.Textures.DynamicTexture | <optional> |
The Game Object or Dynamic Texture that will be used as the mask. If |
| x | number | <optional> |
If creating a Game Object, the horizontal position in the world. |
| y | number | <optional> |
If creating a Game Object, the vertical position in the world. |
| texture | string | Phaser.Textures.Texture | <optional> |
If creating a Game Object, the key, or instance of the Texture it will use to render with, as stored in the Texture Manager. |
| frame | string | number | Phaser.Textures.Frame | <optional> |
If creating a Game Object, an optional frame from the Texture this Game Object is rendering with. |
Returns:
Description:
This Bitmap Mask that was created.
Description:
Creates and returns a Geometry Mask. This mask can be used by any Game Object, including this one.
To create the mask you need to pass in a reference to a Graphics Game Object.
If you do not provide a graphics object, and this Game Object is an instance of a Graphics object, then it will use itself to create the mask.
This means you can call this method to create a Geometry Mask from any Graphics Game Object.
Parameters:
| name | type | arguments | description |
|---|---|---|---|
| graphics | Phaser.GameObjects.Graphics | Phaser.GameObjects.Shape | <optional> |
A Graphics Game Object, or any kind of Shape Game Object. The geometry within it will be used as the mask. |
Returns:
Description:
This Geometry Mask that was created.
Description:
Destroys this Game Object removing it from the Display List and Update List and severing all ties to parent resources.
Also removes itself from the Input Manager and Physics Manager if previously enabled.
Use this to remove a Game Object from your game if you don't ever plan to use it again. As long as no reference to it exists within your own code it should become free for garbage collection by the browser.
If you just want to temporarily disable an object then look at using the Game Object Pool instead of destroying it, as destroyed objects cannot be resurrected.
Parameters:
| name | type | arguments | Default | description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| fromScene | boolean | <optional> | false |
|
Description:
If this Game Object has previously been enabled for input, this will disable it.

Description:
Returns a reference to the underlying display list array that contains this Game Object, which will be either the Scene's Display List or the internal list belonging to its parent Container, if it has one.
If this Game Object is not on a display list or in a container, it will return null.
You should be very careful with this method, and understand that it returns a direct reference to the internal array used by the Display List. Mutating this array directly can cause all kinds of subtle and difficult to debug issues in your game.

Description:
Removes this Game Object from the Display List it is currently on.
A Game Object can only exist on one Display List at any given time, but may move freely removed and added back at a later stage.
You can query which list it is on by looking at the Phaser.GameObjects.GameObject#displayList property.
If a Game Object isn't on any Display List, it will not be rendered. If you just wish to temporarly
disable it from rendering, consider using the setVisible method, instead.
Returns:
Description:
This Game Object.
Description:
Removes this Game Object from the Scene's Update List.
When a Game Object is on the Update List, it will have its preUpdate method called
every game frame. Calling this method will remove it from the list, preventing this.
Removing a Game Object from the Update List will stop most internal functions working. For example, removing a Sprite from the Update List will prevent it from being able to run animations.
Returns:
Description:
This Game Object.
Description:
If this Game Object has previously been enabled for input, this will queue it for removal, causing it to no longer be interactive. The removal happens on the next game step, it is not immediate.
The Interactive Object that was assigned to this Game Object will be destroyed, removed from the Input Manager and cleared from this Game Object.
If you wish to re-enable this Game Object at a later date you will need to
re-create its InteractiveObject by calling setInteractive again.
If you wish to only temporarily stop an object from receiving input then use
disableInteractive instead, as that toggles the interactive state, where-as
this erases it completely.
If you wish to resize a hit area, don't remove and then set it as being
interactive. Instead, access the hitarea object directly and resize the shape
being used. I.e.: sprite.input.hitArea.setSize(width, height) (assuming the
shape is a Rectangle, which it is by default.)
Parameters:
| name | type | arguments | Default | description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| resetCursor | boolean | <optional> | false |
Should the currently active Input cursor, if any, be reset to the default cursor? |
Returns:
Description:

Description:
Set the Alpha level of this Game Object. The alpha controls the opacity of the Game Object as it renders. Alpha values are provided as a float between 0, fully transparent, and 1, fully opaque.
If your game is running under WebGL you can optionally specify four different alpha values, each of which
correspond to the four corners of the Game Object. Under Canvas only the topLeft value given is used.
Parameters:
| name | type | arguments | Default | description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| topLeft | number | <optional> | 1 |
The alpha value used for the top-left of the Game Object. If this is the only value given it's applied across the whole Game Object. |
| topRight | number | <optional> |
The alpha value used for the top-right of the Game Object. WebGL only. |
|
| bottomLeft | number | <optional> |
The alpha value used for the bottom-left of the Game Object. WebGL only. |
|

| gameObject | Phaser.GameObjects.GameObject |
The Game Object that this Game Object will be moved to be below. |
Returns:
Description:
This Game Object instance.
Description:
Sets the Blend Mode being used by this Game Object.
This can be a const, such as Phaser.BlendModes.SCREEN, or an integer, such as 4 (for Overlay)
Under WebGL only the following Blend Modes are available:
- NORMAL
- ADD
- MULTIPLY
- SCREEN
- ERASE (only works when rendering to a framebuffer, like a Render Texture)
Canvas has more available depending on browser support.
You can also create your own custom Blend Modes in WebGL.
Blend modes have different effects under Canvas and WebGL, and from browser to browser, depending on support. Blend Modes also cause a WebGL batch flush should it encounter a new blend mode. For these reasons try to be careful about the construction of your Scene and the frequency in which blend modes are used.
Parameters:
| name | type | description |
|---|---|---|
| value | string | number | Phaser.BlendModes |
The BlendMode value. Either a string, a CONST or a number. |
Returns:
Description:

Description:
Set the lines of text in this BitmapText to be center-aligned. This only has any effect if this BitmapText contains more than one line of text.
Returns:
Description:
This BitmapText Object.
Description:
Sets a tint on a range of characters in this Bitmap Text, starting from the start parameter index
and running for length quantity of characters.
The start parameter can be negative. In this case, it starts at the end of the text and counts
backwards start places.
You can also pass in -1 as the length and it will tint all characters from start
up until the end of the string.
Remember that spaces and punctuation count as characters.
This is a WebGL only feature and only works with Static Bitmap Text, not Dynamic.
The tint works by taking the pixel color values from the Bitmap Text texture, and then multiplying it by the color value of the tint. You can provide either one color value, in which case the whole character will be tinted in that color. Or you can provide a color per corner. The colors are blended together across the extent of the character range.
To swap this from being an additive tint to a fill based tint, set the tintFill parameter to true.
To modify the tint color once set, call this method again with new color values.
Using setWordTint can override tints set by this function, and vice versa.
To remove a tint call this method with just the start, and optionally, the length parameters defined.
Parameters:
| name | type | arguments | Default | description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| start | number | <optional> | 0 |
The starting character to begin the tint at. If negative, it counts back from the end of the text. |
| length | number | <optional> | 1 |
The number of characters to tint. Remember that spaces count as a character too. Pass -1 to tint all characters from |
| tintFill | boolean | <optional> | false |
Use a fill-based tint (true), or an additive tint (false) |
| topLeft | number | <optional> | 0xffffff |
The tint being applied to the top-left of the character. If not other values are given this value is applied evenly, tinting the whole character. |
| topRight | number | <optional> |
The tint being applied to the top-right of the character. |
|
| bottomLeft | number | <optional> |
The tint being applied to the bottom-left of the character. |
|
| bottomRight | number | <optional> |
The tint being applied to the bottom-right of the character. |
Returns:
Description:
This BitmapText Object.
Description:
Allows you to store a key value pair within this Game Objects Data Manager.
If the Game Object has not been enabled for data (via setDataEnabled) then it will be enabled
before setting the value.
If the key doesn't already exist in the Data Manager then it is created.
sprite.setData('name', 'Red Gem Stone');
You can also pass in an object of key value pairs as the first argument:
sprite.setData({ name: 'Red Gem Stone', level: 2, owner: 'Link', gold: 50 });
To get a value back again you can call getData:
sprite.getData('gold');
Or you can access the value directly via the values property, where it works like any other variable:
sprite.data.values.gold += 50;
When the value is first set, a setdata event is emitted from this Game Object.
If the key already exists, a changedata event is emitted instead, along an event named after the key.
For example, if you updated an existing key called PlayerLives then it would emit the event changedata-PlayerLives.
These events will be emitted regardless if you use this method to set the value, or the direct values setter.
Please note that the data keys are case-sensitive and must be valid JavaScript Object property strings.
This means the keys gold and Gold are treated as two unique values within the Data Manager.
Parameters:
| name | type | arguments | description |
|---|---|---|---|
| key | string | object |
The key to set the value for. Or an object of key value pairs. If an object the |
|
| data | * | <optional> |
The value to set for the given key. If an object is provided as the key this argument is ignored. |
Returns:
Description:
This GameObject.
Description:
Adds a Data Manager component to this Game Object.
Returns:
Description:
This GameObject.
Description:
The depth of this Game Object within the Scene.
The depth is also known as the 'z-index' in some environments, and allows you to change the rendering order of Game Objects, without actually moving their position in the display list.
The default depth is zero. A Game Object with a higher depth value will always render in front of one with a lower value.
Setting the depth will queue a depth sort event within the Scene.
Parameters:
| name | type | description |
|---|---|---|
| value | number |
The depth of this Game Object. Ensure this value is only ever a number data-type. |
Returns:
Description:
This Game Object instance.
Description:
Set a callback that alters how each character of the Bitmap Text is rendered.
The callback receives a Phaser.Types.GameObjects.BitmapText.DisplayCallbackConfig object that contains information about the character that's about to be rendered.
It should return an object with x, y, scale and rotation properties that will be used instead of the
usual values when rendering.
Parameters:
| name | type | description |
|---|---|---|
| callback | Phaser.Types.GameObjects.BitmapText.DisplayCallback |
The display callback to set. |
Returns:
Description:
This Game Object.

Description:
Sets a drop shadow effect on this Bitmap Text.
This is a WebGL only feature and only works with Static Bitmap Text, not Dynamic.
You can set the vertical and horizontal offset of the shadow, as well as the color and alpha.
Once a shadow has been enabled you can modify the dropShadowX and dropShadowY properties of this
Bitmap Text directly to adjust the position of the shadow in real-time.
If you wish to clear the shadow, call this method with no parameters specified.

Description:
Pass this Game Object to the Input Manager to enable it for Input.
Input works by using hit areas, these are nearly always geometric shapes, such as rectangles or circles, that act as the hit area for the Game Object. However, you can provide your own hit area shape and callback, should you wish to handle some more advanced input detection.
If no arguments are provided it will try and create a rectangle hit area based on the texture frame the Game Object is using. If this isn't a texture-bound object, such as a Graphics or BitmapText object, this will fail, and you'll need to provide a specific shape for it to use.
You can also provide an Input Configuration Object as the only argument to this method.
Parameters:
| name | type | arguments | Default | description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| hitArea | any | Phaser.Types.Input.InputConfiguration | <optional> |

Description:
Sets the mask that this Game Object will use to render with.
The mask must have been previously created and can be either a GeometryMask or a BitmapMask. Note: Bitmap Masks only work on WebGL. Geometry Masks work on both WebGL and Canvas.
If a mask is already set on this Game Object it will be immediately replaced.
Masks are positioned in global space and are not relative to the Game Object to which they are applied. The reason for this is that multiple Game Objects can all share the same mask.
Masks have no impact on physics or input detection. They are purely a rendering component that allows you to limit what is visible during the render pass.
Parameters:
| name | type | description |
|---|---|---|
| mask | Phaser.Display.Masks.BitmapMask | Phaser.Display.Masks.GeometryMask |
The mask this Game Object will use when rendering. |
Returns:
Description:
This Game Object instance.
Description:
Sets the maximum display width of this BitmapText in pixels.
If BitmapText.text is longer than maxWidth then the lines will be automatically wrapped
based on the previous whitespace character found in the line.
If no whitespace was found then no wrapping will take place and consequently the maxWidth value will not be honored.
Disable maxWidth by setting the value to 0.
You can set the whitespace character to be searched for by setting the wordWrapCharCode parameter or property.
Parameters:
| name | type | arguments | description |
|---|---|---|---|
| value | number |
The maximum display width of this BitmapText in pixels. Set to zero to disable. |
|
| wordWrapCharCode | number | <optional> |
The character code to check for when word wrapping. Defaults to 32 (the space character). |
Returns:
Description:
This BitmapText Object.
Description:
Sets the name property of this Game Object and returns this Game Object for further chaining.
The name property is not populated by Phaser and is presented for your own use.
Parameters:
| name | type | description |
|---|---|---|
| value | string |
The name to be given to this Game Object. |
Returns:
Description:
This GameObject.
