Changing Scenes with Director class

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

Hello ppl,

I have been reading a few tuts on changing scenes, and I found that scenes can be changed using this additional class

http://developer.coronalabs.com/code/director-class-10

I am wondering if this is the right way?

Does corona have anything out of the box that does this? if so is there any tuts that can show me how to do it?

Hi digitallabelprinter,

I would not recommend using director class because it is outdated. Instead, try using Storyboard API or the recently released Composer API.

Here are some links for Storyboard.

And here are some links for Composer.

If you have to choose one, I would use Composer because it is the newest and is meant to eventually replace storyboard.

Hope this helps!
