Composer (Removing Screen on Touch)

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

I’ve been trying to get the scene to change off of a “Tap to Start” type screen.  I’ve went through a bunch of tutorials on setting up the listeners and how to change a scene but I can’t seem to get it to work.  I’ve tried setting an event listener to the background, text, and a runtime event but it hasn’t worked for me yet. Could someone help me out? Perhaps show me how to do it or just point me in the direction of a tutorial that could show me how.

What are you using for your button? 

#3

I have this right now.

local touchToStart = display.newText( “>>> Tap to Begin Flight <<<”, 320/2, 420, “uni 05_63”, 16)

Could I use a text as a button? or the background image? 

#4

You can use a display.newText for this, but if you want features like showing that it’s been tapped by changing colors, etc. you should check out widget.newButton().

But lets go with what you have:

local touchToStart = display.newText( “>>> Tap to Begin Flight <<<”, 320/2, 420, “uni 05_63”, 16)

local function onTouch( event )

     if event.phase == “ended” then

          composer.gotoScene(“yourotherscene”)

    end

    return true

end

touchToStart:addEventListener(“touch”, onTouch)
