I want when i click a button on my Home screen, that a new screen shows up, how do I do this?

Tried several of times now and still fail at it, a help would be great!

Have you been through the tutorials for using the storyboard API?  It’s our scene manager.

Also your question is rather broad and really doesn’t give us a starting point.  Are you using Storyboard or Director? Are you making your own scene controls?  How are you setting up your button?  Where is the new screen?  We need quite a bit more details to give you can kind of useful answer.

I’m using storyboard, I have put a button and the code is 

local button = widget.newButton{
label = “The button”,
font = “HelveticaNeue-Bold”,
fontSize = 16,
yOffset = -2,
labelColor = { default={ 10 }, over={ 10 } },
emboss = true
}
button.x = display.contentCenterX

But I want that a new scene shows up so where, and which code should I add?

I’m a newbie in Corona…

widget.newButton had a parameter:

     onEvent = onButtonEvent

The “onButtonEvent” is the name of the function to execute when the button is tapped.  You will need this function.  Here is an example:

  local onButtonEvent = function (event )
      if event.phase == “release” then
          print( “You pressed and released a button!” )

          storyboard.gotoScene(“yourscene”)
      end
  end
