create a movieclip with downloaded images....

Hello everybody!
This is my first post.
First of all thanks for any help you’ll be able to provide me!!

I’m stuck with a strange and stupid problem…
I’m trying to create a movieclip composed by downloaded images…
I downloaded all the images I need in “system.DocumentsDirectory”.
I’m doing this because my app is multi-language and I’ll download a particular language only if it’s requested by the user or needed.

In the .lua file where I need to use those images I try to create a table but when I start my app the console keeps telling me tha corona failed to find the images, here’s the log:

WARNING: Failed to find image(/Users/lucapinciani/Library/Application Support/Corona Simulator/Space Last copy-FFA5C4308FCFF3269A9FB4C99C5594E8/Documents/help\_0007.png)  

then the movieclip.lua crashes at line 43 when it tries to insert the single frame…

g:insert(animFrames[i])  

because it could find the image…

I double checked and the images exist inside the sandbox folder of the app…
I also printed on screen what’s inside that folder using a for statment like this one:

local doc\_path = system.pathForFile("/help",system.DocumentsDirectory )  
  
for file in lfs.dir(doc\_path) do  
 -- file is the current file or directory name  
 print( "Found file: " .. file )  
end  

and everything is perfectly at its place…

Here’s how I tryed to create my table…

 local path=system.pathForFile("",system.DocumentsDirectory )  
  
 tabellaBaloon = { [1] = path.."/help\_0007.png",  
 [2] = path.."/help\_0008.png",  
 [3] = path.."/help\_0011.png",  
 [4] = path.."/help\_0015.png",  
 [5] = path.."/help\_0018.png" }  
  
-- I also tried this method..  
  
 tabellaBaloon = { [1] = system.pathForFile("help\_0007.png",system.DocumentsDirectory ),  
 [2] = system.pathForFile("help\_0008.png",system.DocumentsDirectory ),  
 [3] = system.pathForFile("help\_0011.png",system.DocumentsDirectory ),  
 [4] = system.pathForFile("help\_0015.png",system.DocumentsDirectory ),  
 [5] = system.pathForFile("help\_0018.png",system.DocumentsDirectory ) }  
local baloon = movieclip.newAnim(tabellaBaloon)  
  

none of these worked, corona keeps failing find images…

The funny thing is that I tried to create an image and everything worked perfectly!!

local imageLang=display.newImage("help\_0007.png",system.DocumentsDirectory,true )  

I really don’t know what else try…

help please!

Thank you all!
