nope i was asking for help to dig but im taking a break and ill try to help you out whats the problem [import]uid: 7911 topic_id: 3454 reply_id: 10361[/import]
Ok, cool I get it… sorry for not being able to help for the digging I am probably too far away (london usually but now in jamaica)…
Anyway I am trying to buid some display.new group (screens) and I get everything right for the first 2 but at the third which is my group 4 everything goes haywire…and I do not know why since I am a beginner… I could post the line of code if you are in the mood for helping me out, but I ask you first since the digging bit is already pretty challenging

Many thanks
Andrea

describe what you mean by haywire whats happening or email me the code with images @ jstrahan73 gmail com [import]uid: 7911 topic_id: 3454 reply_id: 10369[/import]
put
\<lua\>
\</lua\>
around your code in the forum and it’ll format better!
j [import]uid: 6645 topic_id: 3454 reply_id: 10370[/import]
Shouldn’t this grp2.x =-320 (I realize this is a comment, but all the references are in the same format)
and all other references to grp2 objects be:
–grp2[1].x =-320
You’d think it’d make the x value of the whole group -320, but in my testing I’ve found it doesn’t work, you have to specify the index of the object you want to position. Or use something like:
[lua]for i=1, grp2.numChildren do
grp2[i].x =-320
end[/lua]
I hope it helps. [import]uid: 10835 topic_id: 3454 reply_id: 10599[/import]
