Hello

I have a button that skips in 2 different positions randomly. Now I want that if I click on the button somenthing must happen but if click on another part of the screen should happen something else. this is what i coded at this moment.

local button = display.newImage("button.png") local position = { 123, 23, } funciton skip(event) transition.to(button{time = 0 , x = position[math.random=(1,2)]}) end button:addEventListener("touch" , skip)

Now I don’t know how to proceed

What I would do is have an invisible button that covers the whole screen.  You can make it respond using .isHitTestable:

local wholeScreenBtn = display.newRect(display.contentCenterX, display.contentCenterY, display.contentWidth, display.contentHeight)

wholeScreenBtn.fill = {1, 1, 1}

wholeScreenBtn.isVisible = false

wholeScreenBtn.isHitTestable = true

wholeScreenBtn:addEventListener(“touch”, functionToHandleOtherTouches)

Then draw your other button on top.  Then any touch events that your button intercepts will get handled by that function, any other touches get handled by the other function.
