Adding require("ui") causes error

Solar2D Daily Builds and Public Releases
#1

Corona newbie here. I’m working through “Gears” tutorial, and I’m getting an error after adding a reference to the UI library.

I’ve added this as the first line of my main.lua file:
local ui = require(“ui”)

And here’s the error:

Make sure you have the ui.lua file in the same folder as your main.lua and other project files. You can download ui.lua here: http://developer.anscamobile.com/code/ui-library , or just copy it from any of the sample projects that have it. [import]uid: 8782 topic_id: 5677 reply_id: 19449[/import]

That worked…thanks! I didn’t see that mentioned in the tutorial anywhere (although I may have missed it).

Funny, because there’s also a require(“physics”) line in the Balloon tutorial, and that worked fine.

Onward and upward! [import]uid: 29491 topic_id: 5677 reply_id: 19504[/import]
