EaselJS app with Require, getBounds() returns null.

See original GitHub issue

I have some text created like this:

dialogText = new createjs.Text(text, 'bold ' + (28 * scale) + 'px Calibri', '#FFFFFF');

Then later on I use dialogText.getBounds() which returns null.

I try console logging dialogText and I can see that it is set and there is a value _bounds which reads null.

When I use the same javascript without requirejs it seems to work fine.

Any tips of what might be causing my issue?

Your dialogText has no text in it, so it’s returning null for getBounds()
