New to Apple- Need help with 2nd Example "Button"

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

Hi

Here is the code I have “cut & pasted” out of the manual into the text editor.

local textObject = display.newText( “HELLO World!”, 50, 50, nil, 24 )
textObject:setTextColor( 255,255,0 )
local button = display.newImage( “button.png” )
button.x = display.contentWidth / 2
button.y = display.contentHeight - 50

the Hello World works but the button part does not… the first couple of time I ran it … tried to give me to something but it was all broken up all over the simulator … later attempts just gives me the Hello World and nothing new.

In the Terminal I get this error:
WARNING: Cannot create path for resource file ‘button.png’. File does not exist.

WARNING: Failed to find image(button.png)
Runtime error
assertion failed!
stack traceback:
[C]: ?

I thought that maybe the iOS-sdk wasn’t fully loaded so I reinstalled that again thinking the button was coming from there. This did not help!

I’m still boggled as to where iOS-sdk is on the computer as I don’t see it in the Applications Folder.
But yes I not just downloading it…I do install it “successfully” just don’t know were it ends up …So if I have to launch it …best tell me where I mint look to find it … Kindly

Regards
Thomas
