I went through the whole file and everything seems fine to me. No matter what I edit, I get the same error message to close out the bracket. [import]uid: 69494 topic_id: 30099 reply_id: 120898[/import]
there are several things wrong with how you declare functions. I’ve rewritten the file and it works!
change your create function to this
function scene:enterScene(event)
local displayGroup = self.view
print("mainmenu: enterScene event")
local backgroundImage = display.newImageRect("mainmenu.png", 480, 320)
backgroundImage.x = 240; backgroundImage.y = 160
displayGroup:insert(backgroundImage)
local storyBtn
local onPlayTouch = function(event)
if event.phase == "release" then
storyboard.gotoScene("levelselector", "fade", 300)
end
end
storyBtn = widget.newButton{
default.Src = "storybtn.png",
defaultX = 100,
defaultY = 100,
overSrc = "storybtn-over.png",
overX = 100,
overY = 100,
onEvent = onPlayTouch,
id = "StoryButton",
text = "",
font = "Helvetica",
textColor = {255, 255, 255, 255},
size = 16
}
storyBtn.x = 240; storyBtn.y = 440
displayGroup:insert(storyBtn)
btnAnim = transition.to(storyBtn, {time=500, y=260, transition=easing.inOutExpo})
local onOptionsTouch = function(event)
if event.phase == "release" then
-- audio.play(btnSound)
storyboard.gotoScene("options", "crossfade", 300)
end
end
local optBtn
optBtn = widget.newButton{
defaultSrc = "optbtn.png",
defaultX = 60,
defaultY = 60,
overSrc = "optbtn-over.png",
overX = 60,
overY = 60,
onEvent = onOptionsTouch,
id = "OptionsButton",
text = "",
font = "Helvetica",
textColor = {255, 255, 255, 255},
size = 16,
emboss = false
}
optBtn.x = 430; optBtn.y = 440
displayGroup:insert(optBtn)
btnAnim = transition.to(optBtn, {time=500, y=280, transition=easing.inOutExpo})
local arcadeBtn
local onOptionsTouch = function(event)
if event.phase == "release" then
-- audio.play(btnSound)
storyboard.gotoScene("arcade", "crossfade", 300)
end
end
arcadeBtn = widget.newButton{
default.Src = "arcadebtn.png",
defaultX = 100,
defaultY = 100,
overSrc = "arcadebtn-over.png",
overX = 100,
overY = 100,
onEvent = onPlayTouch,
id = "ArcadeButton",
text = "",
font = "Helvetica",
textColor = {255, 255, 255, 255},
size = 16,
emboss = false
}
arcadeBtn.x = 240; arcadeBtn.y = 440
displayGroup:insert(arcadeBtn)
btnAnim = transition.to(arcadeBtn, {time=500, y=260, transition=easing.inOutExpo})
local brutalBtn
brutalBtn = widget.newButton{
default.Src = "brutalBtn.png",
defaultX = 100,
defaultY = 100,
overSrc = "brutalBtn-over.png",
overX = 100,
overY = 100,
onEvent = onPlayTouch,
id = "BrutalButton",
text = "",
font = "Helvetica",
textColor = {255, 255, 255, 255},
size = 16,
emboss = false
}
brutalBtn.x = 240; brutalBtn.y = 440
displayGroup:insert(brutalBtn)
btnAnim = transition.to(brutalBtn, {time=500, y=260, transition=easing.inOutExpo})
end I don’t know what you’ve tried to accomplish with this
local storyBtn
local onPlayTouch = function(event)
if event.phase == "release" then
storyboard.gotoScene("levelselector", "fade", 300)
end
end you declared a local variable storyBtn, but you put an “end” to it like it is a function.
It’ll only work if you’d it written like
[lua] local function storyBtn[/lua]
but you didn’t want to declate a function in the first place. That’s your missing bracket.
I’d simplify your 3 touch functions like this
local onBtnTouch = function(event)
if event.phase == "release" and event.target.id == "StoryButton" then
storyboard.gotoScene("levelselector", "fade", 300)
elseif event.phase == "release" and event.target.id == "OptionsButton" then
audio.play(btnSound)
storyboard.gotoScene("options", "crossfade", 300)
elseif event.phase == "release" and event.target.id == "ArcadeButton" then
audio.play(btnSound)
storyboard.gotoScene("arcade", "crossfade", 300)
end

You’re a life savor Paul_G! I’ll try these during my lunch hours at work. Btw, what are the names of the two games you have in the appstore? [import]uid: 69494 topic_id: 30099 reply_id: 120908[/import]
