Main Menu GUI?

I’ve looked everywhere, but I haven’t been able to find a way to position buttons onto the main.lua file. every time i try to position the buttons other than the default upper left corner I keep getting a syntax error. here is the code:


– main.lua


local storyboard = require “storyboard”

local bg = display.newImage( “bg.png” )

bg.x = 160; bg.y = 195

local widget = require( “widget” )

– Function to handle button events

local function handleButtonEvent( event )

    if ( “ended” == event.phase ) then

        print( “You have signed in” )

    end

end

local button1 = widget.newButton

{

    width = 240,

    height = 120,

    defaultFile = “button.png”,

    overFile = “button.png”,

    label = “button”,

    onEvent = handleButtonEvent

}

– Change the button’s label text

button1:setLabel( “Login” )

the button itself works fine. i just want to position it on the center of the screen. 

button1.x = display.contentCenterX

button1.y = display.contentCenterY

button1.x = display.contentCenterX

button1.y = display.contentCenterY
