Images in Tables

I’ve been racking my brain against this and have not come up a solution. Is it possible to store images in tables and then later display the image?

For example, I tried storing image in a table this way:

myimg = display.newImage(myimg.jpg);  
  
mytable = {}  
mytabe.first = myimg

However, this did not work. Any ideas?

[import]uid: 14218 topic_id: 8446 reply_id: 308446[/import]

What did not work for you? That’s valid code.

well there’s a few errors in that code. myimg.jpg needs quotes and you’ve misspelled mytable

[lua]myimg = display.newImage(“myimg.jpg”);

mytable = {}
mytable.first = myimg

mytable.first.alpha=0.5[/lua] [import]uid: 6645 topic_id: 8446 reply_id: 30501[/import]

you can also just set the isVisible flag and not even store it in a table :wink:

img.isVisible = true / false
