Calling composer function from another file

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

I have 2 scenes, gameScene and endingOverlay. In my endingOverlay, I want to call a newGame() function from gameScene. How do I do that?

I tried this in endingOverlay, but it doesn’t work

local newGameF = require("gameScene") newGameF.newGame()
#2

Try

endingOverlay.lua ... composer.hideOverlay ("fade", 200) ... function scene:hide(event)     local parent = event.parent     local  phase = event.phase     if phase == "will" then         parent:newGame()  -- or use composer.getScene("gameScene"):newGame()  if gameScene scene is not your previous scene     end end ... gameScene.lua ... local scene = composer.newScene() ... function scene:newGame() ... end ...

Alright that seems to work. I think there’s something wrong in my newGame() code, it returns attempt to index field a nil value. But that’s a different story. Thanks
