this is the error im getting i dont get what im doing wrong, i have the about screen.lua file set and i really dont understand why wont it change screen, i have the continue button working but the other isnt. what does that error mean, i cant seem to figure it out.
We need to see the code for aboutscreen.lua, looks like there’s an error in there somewhere preventing it from loading.
-
aboutscreen.lua probably has an error in it. Finding it by loading via storyboard/composer can be hard. Try this trick to uncover it:
require “aboutscreen” – Using require to load the file may help you find the syntax error more easily – Once you find the bug, get rid of this require statement. – This is just a debugging trick.

Why are you using storyboard? You should use composer instead. Also, if you’re using a recent version of Corona, storyboard is no longer included.
well the reason im using storyboard is because some one told me how to and use some of the default load out designs corona cam with to learn from plus i cant find any tutorials on composer, and whats the difference anyway, which one is easier?
The difference is, “storyboard is no longer supported.” So, if you want to make a project and have support for a scene manager, you’ll need to use composer. They are very similar, but composer the the successor to storyboard.
As far as tutorials. There are tons of them, with lots of free samples:

I realize you will find older examples that still use storyboard. However, the conversion to composer is straightforward and documeted and worth your time so you’re using a modern/supported library.
