Hi,

Can I call 

composer.showOverlay() from a scene that is also created by composer.showOverlay() ?

Yep, but that will hide the current overlay. You can’t have overlays on top of overlays.

Gotchas

Only one overlay scene can be shown at any time. If you call composer.gotoScene(), composer.removeHidden(), or attempt to show a different overlay scene, the current overlay will be hidden. As such, you should hide an overlay scene before 1) attempting to show a different overlay scene, or 2) change the active scene viacomposer.gotoScene().
