Oh sorry I have been a bit confusing. The code posted before is from scene2. And as I go from scene2 to scene3 there is the problem. No scene transition there. Also in scene3 I am drawing the level and player under createScene(). My game logic is then in enterScene().
Also if I put in scene3 purgeScene(“scene2”) then I get the error from my posts above.
can you post your scene3 code?
While transitioning to scene3 I get also this error:
ERROR: physics.start() has not been called.
Could this be the reason?
Here is some code, scene3 has more than 1400 lines.

I notice that you are requiruring physics inside createScene and making it local to createScene. This will prevent you from accessing physics in other functions. You should move that to the top of the scene file.
Also, generally with storyboard, you want to have things that kickoff movement delayed until enterScene(). I would move your physics.start() call there.
Now for the error, are you using widgets like a widget.newTableView() anywhere?
OK, I am now requiring physics on the top, also I have moved all physics functions(addbody, addjoints) to enterScene. Unfortunatly no succes. I am pasting bellow the whole code for createScene, nothing special in it.

To the error. widget.newTableVIew() is being used in scene2. There the player is selecting his level.
