– Declare the visible width and height of the screen as constants
_W = display.viewableContentWidth
_H = display.viewableContentHeight
local background = display.newRect(0, 0, 320, 480)
background:setFillColor(255,255,255)
local jump = display.newImage(“images/foo.png”)
jump:setReferencePoint(display.CenterReferencePoint)
jump.x = _W * 0.5
local bar = display.newImageRect(“jump.png”)
I get the error, “Use anchor points instead.”
The Reference Points are deprecated.

There you can learn how to use the new anchor things
I know that, but how would you fix the code? =\
Oh sorry, Well the center of the object is anchorX=0.5 and anchorY=0.5
So u could do
jump.anchorX=0.5
jump.anchorY=0.5
But I believe the center is the default anchor when you create an object. At least that’s what I read on the link I gave you. So if u wanna set the anchors to the center just create it and that’s it.
I’m not sure if that’s what you’re trying to do.
Edit: to clarify things a bit more, remove this line jump:setReferencePoint(display.CenterReferencePoint) and that should fix it.
Ahh! Edit: to clarify things a bit more, remove this line jump:setReferencePoint(display.CenterReferencePoint) and that should fix it. That was what i needed, thanks! 
No problem 
glad i could finally give something back to the community lol
Just jumping in here with a suggestion. Corona’s sample code uses these variables for anchors (easier to remember)
– Define reference points locations anchor ponts
local TOP_REF = 0
local BOTTOM_REF = 1
local LEFT_REF = 0
local RIGHT_REF = 1
local CENTER_REF = 0.5
