Got stuck trying to use the pickerwheel to load a specific image I want o display.
Pickerwheel choice values = “X”,“Y”,“Z” button event…display image “XYZ.jpg”
Everything prints out ok in the console, but i am unable to transform the values in to a filename.
…the noob is strong with this one!
Thanks!
Have you viewed the Corona Documentation, its a great resource:

Yeps, of course.
I don’t have any problems with the picker itself. I am not able to display an image who’s filename is composed of the picker wheel’s output…
…
function button:tap (event)
local values = pickerWheel:getValues()
local AAA = values[1].value
local BBB = values[2].value
local CCC = values[3].value
print( AAA,BBB,CCC) <— works up to here
image:removeSelf()
image = nil
image = display.newImage ( button(AAA,BBB,CCC,".ipg" )) <-- probably where i am fumbling…
image = display.newImage ( button(AAA,BBB,CCC,".ipg" )) <-- probably where i am fumbling…
What does button() function do? Do you mean “.jpg” instead of “.ipg”?
You could pass file name to display.newImage like that
image = display.newImage ( file_name )
Solved!
problem was syntax… i was trying to concatenate the values using " ," instead of " … "
Example:
filename = (AAA…BBB…CCC…".jpg")
image = display.newImage (filename)
