Choosing character with composer.setVariable and composer.getVariable

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

Hello, could anyone help me in figuring out how to create a system, where the user taps on a button, and that characters’ image sheet is applied in a different scene.

If any code is needed, feel free to ask for it.

I have tried this:

Menu.lua:

local function onPlayBtnRelease(event) if (event.phase == "ended" and event.target.id == "girlButton") then print(event.target.id) composer.gotoScene("level1") composer.setVariable("characterChosen", girlSprite) end if (event.phase == "ended" and event.target.id == "boyButton") then print(event.target.id) composer.gotoScene("level1") composer.setVariable("characterChosen", boySprite) end end

level1.lua:

character = composer.getVariable("characterChosen")
