+1 RE appearing the event isn’t firing – just be sure to cancel that timer if you change scenes etc. [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 33184 reply_id: 131834[/import]

Thank you sooooooo much. This has been a huge obstacle for me and now it works like a dream : )

One more question. So my sprite is set to go from point A to point B using a transition. When the sprite “dies” it still moves from point A to point B triggering not only game over but the Level complete also.

 playbutton.active = false  
local function buttonTouched(e) if e.phase == "began" then  
e.target.alpha = .5  
end if e.phase == "ended" then  
mario:play();  
trans1 = transition.to( mario, { time=15000, x = 1100 } )  
e.target.alpha = 1 print("Replay button was touched.")  
 end  
end  
  
playbutton:addEventListener( "touch", buttonTouched )  
   
playbutton:addEventListener('tap', playbutton)

How would I stop this transition if I trigger the Game over? [import]uid: 72845 topic_id: 33184 reply_id: 132017[/import]

I assume you have “trans1” up-referenced somewhere? If so, you can cancel any transition (that is up-value referenced) by using:

transition.cancel( trans1 )

Best of luck!
