Hi 0000bs

Try to use code below

local gamegroup display.newGroup()
local item = display.newImageRect(‘images/foo.png’,70,70);
item.x = 50;
item.y = 50;
local myText = display.newText(“Hello World!”, 70, 70,16)
myText:setTextColor(255, 255, 255)

gamegroup:insert(item)
gamegroup:insert(myText)

cheer

pst: there is a typo (missing “=”) in this line:

local gamegroup = display.newGroup()
