Ah ok, figured it out; your code gave me a hint. If you have a String, the
methods that are in NSString just work on it. If you want the extensions, you
have to be explicit about NSString:
drawable.name is a String?:
// does not work, sizeWithFont not found
if let name = drawable.name {
var size = name.sizeWithFont(font)
// etc...
}
// works fine
if let name: NSString = drawable.name {
var size = name.sizeWithFont(font)
// etc...
}
(Yes, sizeWithFont is deprecated, I still need to switch it out with
sizeWithAttributes)
Thanks!!
