How to remove this?

Hi, I’ve written this code. It works and displays the name of the country, however I’d like to remove the text that appears as I change scene, but don’t know how to do it. Does anybody have an idea?

myMap = native.newMapView( 0, 0, 10, 10 ) myMap.mapType = "standard" sceneGroup:insert(myMap) myMap.x = display.contentWidth / 2 myMap.y = 1200 myMap:setCenter( 37.331692, -122.030456 ) local function address( event ) local cPos = display.newText( "".. event.country .. "" , 160, 290, "HelveticaNeue-UltraLight", 25) end myMap:nearestAddress( 38.898748, -77.037684, address )

P.S. I’m using the composer library

  1. Based on your code (see ‘changed’ and ‘new’ comments)

    local myMap = native.newMapView( 0, 0, 10, 10 ) – changed myMap.mapType = “standard” sceneGroup:insert(myMap) myMap.x = display.contentWidth / 2 myMap.y = 1200 myMap:setCenter( 37.331692, -122.030456 ) local function address( event ) local cPos = display.newText( sceneGroup:, “”… event.country … “” , 160, 290, “HelveticaNeue-UltraLight”, 25) – changed end myMap:nearestAddress( 38.898748, -77.037684, address ) – ‘new’ You’ll need to clear this once you’re done or it won’t get removed completely later myMap = nil

  2. I suspect, you didn’t post the code as it is actually written, but the primary fix is to put your text object in the scenegroup.

  3. Please format code with forums tools.
