Mak Object Continuously Appear And Move

I am trying to make a coin appear every few seconds at random points, and then move left and spin. I am able to do it with one, but I want them to continuously appear. The problem is that i need the delay to be 1 so it goes to my second function(to make it move), but I need them to appear often.

Here is my code:

[lua]

function updateRandomCoin(event)

check3 = math.random(640)

coin = display.newImage(“coin1.png”, check3, 100, true)

coin.xScale = 0.7

coin.yScale = 0.7 

updateCoin()

end

timer.performWithDelay(1, updateRandomCoin, -1)

local function updateCoin(event)

coin.x = coin.x - 4

coin.rotation = coin.rotation + 3

end

timer.performWithDelay(1, updateCoin, -1)

[/lua]

I imagine transitions would work better for this. You want the coins to continually rotate and move left, correct? For example, they appear and then slide to the left while rotating? Let me know if that’s the intent or if I’m just missing something. :slight_smile:
