How to make objects appear one by one on screen?

My file levels.lua has 4 levels. The icon of level 1 appears first. The touch listener on level 1 is disabled until all levels appear on screen. After 1 sec, level 2 appears then level 3 and after level 3, level 4 appears. After level 4, the touch on level 1 is enabled by calling a function. I utilized timer.performWithDelay but the last timer never executes. This is what I wanted to do.

 local function Level5Popup( &nbsp;) &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; beachImg, beachHImg = artassets.getLevel1Map(); &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; dimFair, dimMall, dimFarm = artassets.getAllLocks(); &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; lock1, lock2, lock3 = artassets.getDimmedScreens(); &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; end &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; local function Level2Popup( ... ) &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; farm &nbsp;= artassets.getLockedLevels2();-- body &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; end &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; local function Level3Popup( ... ) &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; funfare = artassets.getLockedLevels3(); &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; end &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; local function Level4Popup( ... ) &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; shoppingMall &nbsp;= artassets.getLockedLevels4(); &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; level5 = timer.performWithDelay( 5000, Level5PopUp, 1 ) &nbsp; ---this timer never executes I want this to execute &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; end &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; level1 = timer.performWithDelay( 1000, Level1Popup, 1 ) &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; level2 = timer.performWithDelay( 2000, Level2Popup, 1 ) &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; level3 = timer.performWithDelay( 3000, Level3Popup, 1 ) &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; level4 = timer.performWithDelay( 4000, Level4Popup, 1 ) &nbsp;

Are you getting any error messages? How do you know it doesn’t execute? Did you try placing a print statement at the top of Level5Popup( )?
