Hello,
how can I control a scrollView in a composer scene from mail.lua?
I want to stop the scrollView using scrollView:setIsLocked() .
I tried to access the scrollView via composer.getScene() as written in the example here
https://docs.coronalabs.com/api/library/composer/getScene.html, but it didn’t work.
Any help appreciated!
You can just create a global reference to it. It isn’t recommend to have too many globals in the app, unless they are properly managed.
Just do this :
local scrollView = --Your scrollview object here global\_scrollView = scrollView -- Now you can access it with 'global\_scrollView' anywhere in the app.The way we would suggest you do this would be to setup up a custom event and then from main.lua, dispatch the event and that would trigger code in your scene where you have an in-scope reference to the scrollView.
The global is easy. The event system is more work. Also consider:

In this case, you eliminate global issues by using a data table that holds the reference to your scrollView in a module that just gets included everywhere. Globals without the issues of globals!
