Info Box Popup

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

Here’s what I’m trying to accomplish. I’m new to Corona so bear with me.

I want to create an info button at the bottom of the screen that when pressed pops up an info window over the scene. This window will have a background and some text. The window will have an “X” so that it can be removed from the scene when the user is done with it.

I’m not quite sure how to proceed with this. Would I create a new group to try to accomplish this.

Any ideas of help with this would greatly be appreciated. If you could point me to some tutorials that would be helpful also. Code examples are more than welcome.

So I’ve been able to group my background, text box and button to create my popup. I have a separate button that calls this group and has it slide onto the screen.

I want to press the button and have the popup “disappear”.

Would I use something like group:remove( indexOrChild )
