Hello,
I have a problem that i don’t understand, when I launch my project with Corona SDK this message appears :
playGame.lua:18:ERROR:table expected. If this is a function call, you might have used ‘.’ instead of ‘:’
stack traceback :
[C]: in function.lua:18: in function <playGame.lua:5>
?: in function ‘dispatchEvent’
?:in function ‘gotoScene’
mainMenu.lua:11: in function mainMenu.lua:9>
?: in function <?:221>
I don’t understand what it mean so i need help.
I have 3 lua : main.lua / mainMenu.lua / playGame.lua
_ main.lua : _
local composer = require ( “composer” )
composer.recycleOnSceneChange = true
composer.gotoScene(“mainMenu”, {effect = “fade”, time = 1500})
_ mainMenu.lua : _
local composer = require( “composer” )
local scene = composer.newScene()
function scene:create( event )
local sceneGroup = self.view
local playD = display.newText (“Play”, 160, 240, font, 30)
playD:setFillColor(200,200,200)
sceneGroup:insert (playD)
local function playDListener (event)
if (event.phase == “began”) then
composer.gotoScene ( “playGame”, {effect = “fade”, time = 500})
end
return true
end
playD:addEventListener (“touch”, playDListener)
end
scene:addEventListener (“create”, scene)
return scene

(Sorry there is no numbers of lines but the probleme is at the beginning at : sceneGroup:insert(“myObstacles[i].pBot”)
sceneGroup:insert(“myObstacles[i].pTop”) )
Thaks for your help ! 
(sorry i’m french so my english isn’t perfect ! ;) )
