Classes on Corona?

Hey there!
I’m new around. I’m a graphic and web designer with experience on a lot of stuff. Stuff like: Actionscript.
On Actionscript i’m used to the wonderful of Classes. Using different Classes for different methods and screens. Even to use MVC design pattern.

So… how can I accomplish this on Lua/Corona? This must be a really easy question but… I’m really new to Corona and to start… I would like to know this so I can organize my projects better. [import]uid: 35508 topic_id: 6201 reply_id: 306201[/import]

There are a number of ways to do object-oriented programming in Lua. Here’s my approach:

Interesting… i will check it more carefully later.
My doubt was how to make simple classes so I can do my own framework. Just the simple knowledge.

I’ll check that framework it seems interesting. [import]uid: 35508 topic_id: 6201 reply_id: 21297[/import]

“MiddleClass” looks good but i had some scope issues when i tested it quickly. will check it again [import]uid: 6645 topic_id: 6201 reply_id: 21313[/import]
