Problem changing scene with touch button

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

Hi!
I have a sub-menu where you can change settings before you start playing the game. If you want to change the level and close the sub-menu you press onCloseTouch(). And if you want to start the game you press onPlayTouch(). The problem is that if you press onCloseTouch() and go back to the start-menu, then go back to the same sub-menu the onPlayTouch() doesn’t work. You can click on the button, btnPlay, and you hear the tapSound and it changes picture, but it doesn’t change scene to loadlevel1. And I have no idea why it is like that. Also, for some reason, you can only click on the right side of the btnPlay (like 30px) to get an action, not on the other side! And it’s the same for btnClose; but on btnClose you can only click on the left side of the button (like 30px) to get an action.

Does someone have an idea what I’m doing wrong?

Best regards,
joelwe

Try changing onEvent to onPress or onRelease - right now it would call the function twice, once when pressed and once when released, which may be contributing.

The other thing to check if hearing sounds correctly is if it is changing but you can’t see it - in your level1.lua file do a print statement, print “level 1” or the like - see if it prints when you hear the sound play.

If it does this is likely an issue with no adding to groups or cleaning them up properly.

Hi Peach!
It seems to work with

onPress = onPlayTouch

and

local onPlayTouch = function( press )

Thanks! :smiley: [import]uid: 54640 topic_id: 21919 reply_id: 87265[/import]
