So the challenge I am having is creating variable names dynamically:
Lets say I need 500 buttons:
x = 0
For Loop Begin
x = x + 1
local button…x = ui.newButton{ (I need button1, button2, button3 how???)
–blah blah
}
For Loop End
[import]uid: 38453 topic_id: 7316 reply_id: 307316[/import]
put them in a table
local buttons = {}
for i = 1, 10 then
buttons[#buttons+1] = ui.newButton()
end
[import]uid: 12108 topic_id: 7316 reply_id: 25696[/import]
That worked great!
Thanks a lot. I wish I knew Lua game development best practices better!

did you read the corona docs and the Lua manual jinibot?
