Director: Screen Change Animation

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

I am using Director to change screens. I want to animate the screen changing. Is there any way to accomplish this? I want similar effect like Fade transitions or different scene transitions those are available in Cocos2D.

Please help me.

List of effects for scene changes in Director:

[lua]director:changeScene(“scene”, “moveFromRight”)
director:changeScene(“scene”, “overFromRight”)
director:changeScene(“scene”, “moveFromLeft”)
director:changeScene(“scene”, “overFromLeft”)
director:changeScene(“scene”, “overFromTop”)
director:changeScene(“scene”, “overFromBottom”)
director:changeScene(“scene”, “fade”)
director:changeScene(“scene”, “flip”)
director:changeScene(“scene”, “downFlip”)[/lua]

In future please post Director related questions in the Director sub forum; we can’t provide official support for 3rd party.

Luckily I had this list lying around from a recent blog post :wink:

Thanks Peach. I am new so I didn’t know there was a subgroup for Director. Sorry.

One more question. Is there any native way to change scene in Corona, I mean not using the third party library.

No worries Shovon - and welcome!

I just wanted to mention it as it’s the best way to get an answer so it’s worth remembering for the future :slight_smile:

As to a native way, as Danny says yes, there is Storyboard which is available in the latest stable build, 704.
