Director class not changing scene

Director Class
1

I’ve been playing with a game for my elementary students and am having director class issues. When I try to change the scene, things work fine until I have my variable set to true. If I set the variable set to true outside of a function or within the director function, things work fine. But I have an onComplete=changeToScene that call the variable true and nothing happens. I put a print for the terminal and the print shows just fine and I don’t see any errors.

The following code works just fine:

function changeScene() testing = true if testing == true then director:changeScene("sceneOne"); print("aAAAAARRRRR") end function cleanUp (event) end end
but if testing is called to true inside of a different function, only print(“aAAAARRRRR”) works

function changeToScene()  
testing = true  
end  
  
transition.to(corrTile, {time = 1000, delay = 1500, alpha = 0, y=0, rotation=90, onComplete=changeToScene})  
  
function changeScene()  
if testing == true then  
director:changeScene("sceneOne");  
print("aAAAAARRRRR")  
end  
function cleanUp (event)  
end  
end  
  
--the AAAARRRR prints, but no scene change

Does anyone have any ideas? I’m happy to share the whole file if that helps.

sorry but can’t tell you any thing as the problem is not in any code you had posted i had done quick test and that works

here is my test

[lua]module(…, package.seeall)

function new()
local localGroup = display.newGroup()

local corrTile = display.newRect(0,0,100,100)
function changeToScene()
testing = true
changeScene()
end

transition.to(corrTile, {time = 1000, delay = 1500, alpha = 0, y=0, rotation=90, onComplete=changeToScene})

function changeScene()
if testing == true then
director:changeScene(“modeSelect”);
print(“aAAAAARRRRR”)
end
function cleanUp (event)
end
end
return localGroup
end[/lua]

Thanks for the reply hgvyas123. I thought I was going nuts. I don’t know what I overlooked, but when I deleted that part and retyped it this morning it worked. [import]uid: 48122 topic_id: 10529 reply_id: 38409[/import]

Doesnt changeToScene() need to call changeScene() after setting testing to true?
I can’t see where in the code that changeScene() would ever get called.

[code]
function changeToScene()
testing = true
changeScene()
end

transition.to(corrTile, {time = 1000, delay = 1500, alpha = 0, y=0, rotation=90, onComplete=changeToScene})

function changeScene()
if testing == true then
director:changeScene(“sceneOne”);
print(“aAAAAARRRRR”)
end
function cleanUp (event)
end
end

–the AAAARRRR prints, but no scene change
