Problems with Displaying images and printing

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

I am a newbie, having a couple of problems with Corona and Lua:

  1. Whenever I use print command, it doesn’t work, giving me a blank black screen. But when I use the textObject.newText function it works.

  2. Whenever I try to display an image, the image is displayed as a part of the screen on the top-left corner. ( I am using the Corona SDK Mobile Game Development: Beginner’s Guide by Michelle M. Fernandez. While on Chapter 2, I faced the problem with this display image problem. I have attached the two files related to this problem: ExpectedOutput.png and MyOutput.png).

Thanks in Advance!
