Every time I type in the string code and put it in to the simulator it says image can not be found I am not typing it in wrong either, any suggestions.
line is: local spacebackground = display.newImage(“space.jpg”)
picture name: space.jpg
Error in Corona: Can not find image.
Error in text editor: attempt to index global display (a nil value)
If anyone knows how to fix this please reply it would help a lot…
Obvious question. space.jpg is in the same folder as main.lua correct?
Rob
Yes it is in the same folder as main.lua
Also I am using windows 8.1 and text editor sciTE…
I can’t think of any reason why you would get that error if the file is where it’s supposed to be. Also the fact that it’s saying “display” is nil is a bit bothersome too. I might suggest un-installing and re-installing CoronaSDK. Also all the messages from the command window would be helpful. Rather than taking screen shots, you can copy/paste text easier.

yep that fixed it thanks
