Overlay Menu on top of Storyboard pages

Hi

I’m trying to create a roll-out menu on top of my storyboard pages. I suppose the best way is to use the main.lua to hold the menu to get it on top of all my storyboard pages. I’m trying to use the widget.newTableView() in the menu to change storyboard page.
The problem is that my “taps” or “clicks” in the widget goes through the menu and hits my touch events on the storyboard pages too, I would like to prevent that.

I was trying to use “return true” in my touch events but it does not work. It seams like the storyboard events is rendered last. I need the return true in the main.lua to stop the events on the storyboard, not the other way around.

Does anyone understand my problem and have any suggestions? [import]uid: 34473 topic_id: 30455 reply_id: 330455[/import]

You should use the storyboard.showOverlay / storyboard.hideOverlay functions. These work great for menus and they give you a lot of callbacks. Here is a link to the API:
