hi i need help with this

Please read https://forums.coronalabs.com/topic/55780-ask-a-better-question-get-a-better-answer/ and ask your question again

XeduR@Spyric is right.  You should probably take a look at that post.

I say this because it it a little unclear what you’re asking for here.  It probably seems obvious to you, but it isn’t to us.  We want to help, but we need to know what you’re doing and seeing.

A great summary to put first in your post is: 

• What you did,
• Why you did it,
• What your saw, and
• What you expected to see.

It also helps to tell us what you tried in order to debug the problem.

Once we know this we can help you a lot more easily.

Thanks!

PS - Thanks for posting code, but I’ll give you a tip.  I’m suuuuuuper lazy.  I like it best when folks provide a link to a downloadable project that demonstrates the problem.  If you don’t make me do any coding to replicate your problem I’m way more likely to help.  GitHub and Dropbox are two great places to put the zip file containing your problem demo.

I’m sure I’m not alone in this.  In this case, it is a pain in the neck to take a pasted scene file and then have to

1. Write the rest of the code needed for a project. main.lua, build.settings, config.lua, …

2. Write code to show the scene.

3. Paste the scene into its own file.

4. Provide all the missing assets (images, etc.)

5. Then finally try to run it and see ‘some unspecified error’.

Sigh… better to get a fully runnable project in a downloadable zip.

To prove I’m not a mean guy, you can always use my starter project as a basis when creating demos of problem.

1. Download this and unzip it: https://github.com/roaminggamer/RG_FreeStuff/raw/master/AskEd/askEdStarter.zip

2. Add the code and assets you need to replicate your issue.

3. Rename the folder.

4. Zip it up and put it on GitHub, DropBox, or another reputable site.

5. Share a link here.

6. Don’t forget to tell us what is going on (that list I posted above).

PS - BTW, these links might be useful to you later:

Sheesh. No offense but, I really wonder what the expectation is of people like this.

It’s the equivalent of dumping a stack of papers of a stranger’s desk and saying “I need help. Fix this for me for free in your own free time.”
