my code is the following

[lua]module(…, package.seeall)

–====================================================================–
– SCENE: LEVEL 1

new = function ()

local localGroup = display.newGroup()

local background = display.newImage( “gamebackground.png” )

– OBJECTS

local p1
local p2
local p3
local p4
local p5

local pollys
local lastPolly = {}
– Load Sound

local hit = audio.loadSound(‘Slap.wav’)

– Variables

local timerSource
local currentPollys = 0
local pollysHit = 0
local totalPollys = 5

– Functions
local showGameView = {}
local preparePollys = {}
local startTimer = {}
local showPolly = {}
local popOut = {}
local pollyHit = {}

local showGameView = function(event)
score = display.newText(‘0’ … ‘/’ … totalPollys, 400, 290, native.systemFontBold, 16)
score:setTextColor(700, 700, 100)

preparePollys()
end

–Prepare Pollys
local preparePollys = function (event)

p2 = display.newImage(‘abbott.png’, 360, 167)
p3 = display.newImage(‘Julia.png’, 360, 40)
p4 = display.newImage(‘abbott.png’, 50, 167)
p5 = display.newImage(‘Julia.png’, 200, 105)

pollys = display.newGroup(p1, p2, p3, p4, p5)

for i = 1, pollys.numChildren do
pollys[i]:addEventListener(‘tap’, pollyHit)
pollys[i].isVisible = false
end
startTimer()
end
local startTimer = function()
timerSource = timer.performWithDelay(1400, showPolly, 0)
end

local showPolly = function(event)
if(currentPollys == totalPollys) then
director:changeScene(“mainmenu”)
else
lastPolly.isVisible = false
local randomHole = math.floor(math.random() * 5) + 1

lastPolly = pollys[randomHole]
lastPolly:setReferencePoint(display.BottomCenterReferencePoint)
lastPolly.yScale = 0.1
lastPolly.isVisible = true

Runtime:addEventListener(‘enterFrame’, popOut)

currentPollys = currentPollys + 1
end
end

local popOut = function(event)
lastPolly.yScale = lastPolly.yScale + 0.2

if(lastPolly.yScale >= 1) then
Runtime:removeEventListener(‘enterFrame’, popOut)
end
end

local pollyHit = function(event)
audio.play(hit)
pollysHit = pollysHit + 1
score.text = pollysHit … ‘/’ … totalPollys
lastPolly.isVisible = false

end

return localGroup

also here is my loadlevel1.lua code

[lua]module(…, package.seeall)

–====================================================================–
– SCENE: LOAD LEVEL 1
–====================================================================–

new = function ()

local localGroup = display.newGroup()

local theTimer
local loadingImage

local showLoadingScreen = function()
loadingImage = display.newImageRect( “loading.png”, 480, 320 )
loadingImage.x = 240; loadingImage.y = 160

local goToLevel = function()
director:changeScene( “level1” )
end

theTimer = timer.performWithDelay( 1000, goToLevel, 1 )
end

showLoadingScreen()

clean = function()
if theTimer then timer.cancel( theTimer ); end

if loadingImage then
–loadingImage:removeSelf()
display.remove( loadingImage )
loadingImage = nil
end
end

return localGroup

end [import]uid: 166525 topic_id: 31126 reply_id: 124480[/import]

Hi Lemicreations,

You have to add all your images too the localGroup. If you don’t add them then they won’t appear with director.

Also, I would recommend Storyboard because it is actually a lot easier to use.
