How to use require() when file is in a subfolder

Games
#1

Should this be possible:

require("subfolder/file.lua")

I get errors… [import]uid: 8353 topic_id: 3161 reply_id: 303161[/import]

#2

You can’t have lua files inside a subfolder. [import]uid: 5712 topic_id: 3161 reply_id: 9264[/import]

#3

this works in my simulator

main.lua
[lua]ASSET_PATH=“images/”
stufftest=require(“stuff/stufftest”)
stufftest.stuffit()
img1 = display.newImage(ASSET_PATH…“berry/berry.png”)
img1.x=100[/lua]

stuff/stufftest.lua
[lua]module(…,package.seeall)

function stuffit()
print “stuffit!”
img2 = display.newImage(ASSET_PATH…"/berry/stuff.png")
end[/lua]

however 2 things to note

  1. it might not work on the device!
  2. note that file operations are relative to the main app (same problem exists in flash)… note how i pass a global ASSET_PATH [import]uid: 6645 topic_id: 3161 reply_id: 10839[/import]
