How do you Change Levels( stage from stage ) with transition effect?

Hi the I am testing the 30 days tool and I am very experienced with C++ and java, BUT i can’t find a single post or information about how to load a new level from another. even in the documentation this is not very clear. As I am developing games for iphone and ipad , I found corona and really liked it ( android is a plus ).
But it seams to lack some sample codes from basic stuff like level transitions ( with or without FX ) and about global pause functions.

I am really liking the tool and I am willing to buy it!

I 'll be waiting your reply,

Thanks. [import]uid: 9647 topic_id: 2304 reply_id: 302304[/import]

Welcome beatrage!

Look here in API for Modules, here in Programming Guide for Groups, and also study the TabBar sample (in SDK installation folder, in samples/interface) for the existing scene management capabilities of Corona. Scenes are implemented with “Groups” management in one or many .lua files.

There are also some discussions in this forum about the need or not for a more abstracted way for scene management that could autorelease all the elements of a replaced scene. I’m not very optimistic, but something may soon change on this… [import]uid: 7356 topic_id: 2304 reply_id: 6994[/import]
