'Module Composer not found'

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

Hello,

I have been trying to implement the composer API into my project like this:

local composer = require("composer")

The problem is, when I test the program in the simulator, I get the following error:

File: module ‘composer’ not found

I thought my version of corona was too old, so I updated to the latest version, but I still have the same problem. The composer example has appeared in the Sample Code folder of Corona, but it does not work.

Have I done something wrong, or is there some way I can manually install the Composer API?

Can you confirm the version number of Corona SDK that you are using?

Can you go into the SampleCode/Interface/Composer and see if that runs for you?

Yesterday I downloaded 2014.2189 and just replaced the old files with the new ones, but the version for Corona Simulator says 2013.2100.

I have tried running the Composer example in the SampleCode folder, but I get the same error.

If it says you’re running 2100, then you’re not running the 2189 you downloaded.  Perhaps it didn’t install correctly?  Maybe 2100 is in another folder that’s getting picked up in your PATH somewhere.  Composer won’t work with 2100.  You need to figure out how to get 2189a installed and running.

That’s strange, I must have been using an older version of the simulator stored somewhere in my computer. This time I used the simulator saved in the Corona SDK folder in Applications. It says the version is 2014.2189 and it works fine.

Thankyou for your help!

Hi, we have the same problem. We purchased the Pro version, but we do not find the Compore GUI. We also downloaded aliens-vs-mutant-mice-final-master … nothing. Can you help us? Thank you.

Can you verify what version of Corona SDK you are running?

Hi Rob,

Corona SDK: v2014.2340 (2014.6.17)

I see.  I don’t think we’ve made the Composer GUI open to the general public yet.  I know we are getting close.  There is a difference between Composer GUI and Composer API.  This thread is regarding the Composer API.

Thanks Rob. We wait the availability of the composer GUI.
