The best way to help you on this one is to have you check out the 2 links below. Both are ‘short’ tutorials…

the first is the one I read and seems very clear on the minimum code you will need for each scene.

the second is a tutorial just posted yesterday under ‘blog’ on the Corona site. I have not read this one yet, but it appears to deal l more speicifcally with moving from director to storyboard.

Yes, you need to read the tutorials. Your menu.lua is missing 95% of the guts that it needs.

You need a function called “createScene” and in that function you load your back ground and you MUST add that to the display group.

Try this:

local storyboard = require( "storyboard" )  
local scene = storyboard.newScene()  
   
function scene:createScene(event)  
 local group = self.view  
  
 local background = display.newImageRect("background.jpg",1024,768)  
 background.x = 512  
 background.y = 384  
  
 group:insert(background)  
end  
  
scene:addEventListener("createScene", scene)

Now you should still have the bit to support enterScene, exitScene and destroyScene, but the above is the minimum code to see your background.
**NOTE

While its technically possible to not have to put the background image into group, there has to be at least one display object added to that group to avoid a bug.
