Remove an Object in Function

Games
#1

What I’m trying to do is remove balloon when I change scene heres what I mean.

  
-- This function is repeated 7 times with variable not changed  
local group = display.newGroup()  
  
local spawnBalloon = function()  
if spawn == true then  
ball = display.newImage( group, "balloon.png" )  
ball.x = 60 + math.random( 160 )  
ball.y = 550  
physics.addBody( ball, { density=0.0, friction=0.1, bounce=0.1 } )  
ball:addEventListener( "touch", spawnBall )  
balls[#balls + 1] = ball  
ball.name = "ball"  
end  
end  
timer.performWithDelay(500, ball, -1)  
  
local function delete()  
for i=group.numChildren,1,-1 do  
 local child = group[i]  
if group[i].y \< -100 then  
display.remove(group[i]) -- dont know about this part, try it  
end  
end  
end  
   
Runtime:addEventListener("enterFrame", delete)  
  
-- This function is the quit which is suppose to change scene  
local function quit (event)  
if event.phase == "ended" then  
director:changeScene ("play")  
bkg:removeSelf()  
Quit.isVisible = false  
Resume.isVisible = false  
Pause.isVisible = false  
end  
end  
Quit:addEventListener ("touch", quit)

What I’m trying to do is remove the balloons when I change the scene to next scene. Every time I change I see balloons in the next scene. Also when I put localGroup:insert(ball) I would get an error. So can any body help me figure out this problem. [import]uid: 17058 topic_id: 19334 reply_id: 319334[/import]

I’m confused.
Firstly, where in your code are you trying to remove the ball objects? The only place I can see it is in the delete function, but that is a function which deletes based on screen position.
Second, are you trying to delete the objects after the scene change, rather than before? [import]uid: 84115 topic_id: 19334 reply_id: 74653[/import]
