Sorry for being a bother for this question about insert object. Ok my problem is when I do group:insert(ball) on the object ball That object would appear in the next scene. Here is the code to clarify things better.
[code] module(…, package.seeall)
function new()
local localGroup = display.newGroup()
require( “ice” )
local physics = require(“physics”)
local ui = require(“ui”)
local gameUI = require(“gameUI”)
physics.start()
physics.setGravity(0, -1)
local scores = ice:loadBox( “scores” )
local high = scores:retrieve(“best”)
print(high)
display.setStatusBar( display.HiddenStatusBar )
local scoreText
local score = 0
local highscore
local button1
local runMode = true
local spawn = true
local touch = true
local gameOver = false
local bkg = display.newImage( “bkg.png” )
bkg.x = 160; bkg.y = 240
localGroup:insert(bkg)
local score_txt =display.newText("Score: ",0,0,nil,25)
score_txt.x = 160; score_txt.y = 440
score_txt:setTextColor(0,0,0)
score_txt.text = "Score: "… score
localGroup:insert(score_txt)
local spawnBall = function( event )
local t = event.target
local phase = event.phase
if touch == true then
if “began” == phase then
t:removeSelf() – destroy object
score = score + math.random( 1000 )
score_txt.text = "Score: "… score
end
– Stop further propagation of touch event
return true
end
end
local balls = {}
local group = display.newGroup()
local spawnBalloon = function()
if spawn == true then
ball = display.newImage( group, “balloon.png” )
ball.x = 60 + math.random( 160 )
ball.y = 550
physics.addBody( ball, { density=0.0, friction=0.1, bounce=0.1 } )
ball:addEventListener( “touch”, spawnBall )
balls[#balls + 1] = ball
group:insert(ball)
end
end
timer.performWithDelay(500, spawnBalloon, -1)
local function delete()
for i=group.numChildren,1,-1 do
local child = group[i]
if group[i].y < -100 then
display.remove(group[i]) – dont know about this part, try it
end
end
end
Runtime:addEventListener(“enterFrame”, delete)
local bt = display.newImage (“pause.png”)
bt.x = 290
bt.y = 30
localGroup:insert(bt)
local bt2 = display.newImage (“pauseOver.png”)
bt2.x = bt.x
bt2.y = bt.y
bt2.isVisible = false
localGroup:insert(bt2)
local Pause = display.newText(“Pause”, 5, 0, “ArialRoundedMTBold”, 30)
Pause.x = 160
Pause.y = 110
Pause:setTextColor(0,0,0)
Pause.isVisible = false
localGroup:insert(Pause)
local Resume = display.newText(“Resume”, 5, 0, “ArialRoundedMTBold”, 25)
Resume.x = 160
Resume.y = 190
Resume:setTextColor(0,0,0)
Resume.isVisible = false
localGroup:insert(Resume)
local Quit = display.newText(“Quit”, 5, 0, “ArialRoundedMTBold”, 25)
Quit.x = 160
Quit.y = 270
Quit:setTextColor(0,0,0)
Quit.isVisible = false
localGroup:insert(Quit)
–Function for start button
local function done ()
physics.pause()
spawn = false
touch = false
bt.isVisible = false
bt2.isVisible = true
Quit.isVisible = true
Resume.isVisible = true

result = timer.pause( timerID )
end

local function quit (event)
if event.phase == “ended” then
director:changeScene (“play”)
Quit.isVisible = false
Resume.isVisible = false
Pause.isVisible = false
spawn = false
end
end

local count = 60
local hasRun = 0
local time = display.newText( “60”, 5, 0, “ArialRoundedMTBold”, 40)
time:setTextColor( 0, 0, 0 )
localGroup:insert(time)
local timeDelay = 700
function time:timer( event )
count = count-1
hasRun = hasRun+1
self.text = count
if hasRun >= 10 then
timer.cancel( event.source )
director:changeScene (“popover”)
end
end
– Register to call t’s timer method 50 times
timerID = timer.performWithDelay( timeDelay, time, -1 )
local highText = display.newText("", 0,0,nil,30)
highText.x = display.contentWidth/2
highText.y = display.contentHeight/2
highText.text = "HighScore: "… scores:retrieve(“best”)
localGroup:insert(highText)
local function show_highScore()

scores:storeIfHigher( “best”, score )
scores:save()
local highText = display.newText("", 0,0,nil,30)
highText.x = display.contentWidth/2
highText.y = display.contentHeight/2
if score > high then
highText.text = "HighScore: "… scores:retrieve(“best”)
else
if score > high then
print(“new high score”)
highText.text = "HighScore: "… scores:retrieve(“best”)
end
end
end
timer.performWithDelay(60000, show_highScore, 1)
return localGroup
end[/code]
Now you should see that I did group:insert(ball) and when I did that the balloon appeared in the next scene. I appreciate the help, and also sorry for being a bother. [import]uid: 17058 topic_id: 19368 reply_id: 319368[/import]
