Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

hi there,

i wonder anyone here ever test an app where it work correctly in corona terminator but not iOS simulator?

i have my app tested (using corona)

but when i exported to iOS simulator to run, i hit following error
http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/941/screenshot20111030atam0.png

below is my code, i suspect due to i am reading file from either resource folder or document folder.

Can anyone tell me where to dig the log file as well.

It is clearly a Director related issue…

you are trying to load a new scene called “sce_flashcard_ls” and that is missing a new() function or the global/local thingie is causing that confusion…

cheers,

sorry, i dont understand,
but why corona simulator never complain? (which mean iOS simulator and corona simulator work differently?)

also, i am following the guide closely

main.lua

  
display.setStatusBar( display.HiddenStatusBar )  
  
local director = require("director")  
  
require("g")  
  
local mainGroup = display.newGroup()  
  
local main = function ()  
  
 ------------------  
 -- Add the group from director class  
 ------------------  
  
 mainGroup:insert(director.directorView)  
  
 ------------------  
 -- Change scene without effects  
 ------------------  
 director:changeScene("sce\_flashcard")  
  
 ------------------  
 -- Return  
 ------------------  
  
 return true  
end  
  
main()

sce_flashcard.lua

  
module(..., package.seeall)  
new = function ( params )  
  
 ------------------  
 -- Imports  
 ------------------  
  
 local ui = require ( "ui" )

 local localGroup = display.newGroup()  
  
 ------------------  
 -- Display Objects  
 ------------------  
 local flshcFruit = display.newImage('img/flshc\_fruit.png')  
 flshcFruit.x, flshcFruit.y = 100, 100  
 flshcFruit.type = 'fruit'  
 localGroup:insert(flshcFruit)  
 local onFlshcIndexBtnTap = function(e)  
 if e.phase == 'ended' then  
 print('tap me type =' .. e.target.type)  
 -- goto flashcard thumbnail listing page  
 director:changeScene({type = e.target.type }, 'sce\_flashcard\_ls', 'fade')  
 end  
 end  
 flshcFruit:addEventListener('touch', onFlshcIndexBtnTap)  
  
 return localGroup  
  
end

sce_flashcard_ls.lua

 local file = io.open( filePath, "r" )  
 local contents = file:read( "\*a" )  
  
 local cardPerCol = 3  
  
 -- THUMBNAIL  
 local thumb = {}  
  
 local thumbSprite=spriteGrabber.grabSheet("sprite/flshc\_tbn")  
  
 local startX, startY = 50, 100  
 local spacingX, spacingY = 100, 100  
  
 -- BELOW ARE LOGIC TO LOOP OUT MY IMAGES…  
 -- CODES….  
  
 return localGroup  
  
end

so, it’s quite a simple code, what i am worrying is the file directory cause the problem? plz correct me if i am wrong. [import]uid: 10373 topic_id: 17104 reply_id: 64380[/import]
