Thank you! I don’t have access to the daily builds though, I guess I’ll have to wait (?) [import]uid: 26547 topic_id: 3988 reply_id: 21707[/import]

That’s what I had thought, but when I run build 307, a get the following when the level begins to load:

/Applications/Corona.2011.307/Corona Terminal: line 9: 6264 Bus error “$path/Corona Simulator.app/Contents/MacOS/Corona Simulator” $*

@emf715 that would be a different bug as the bug here was about removeSelf()

any code you can provide that I can see where the problem is?

Also, make sure that your require are “case sensitive” matches as the mobile devices are finicky. MD are case sensitive.

Carlos: I sent my code to Sean (I had his address not yours). Depending on whether the original object is an image, movieclip, or sprite affects how the ‘phantom’ physics body acts, but it remains behind in all cases.

When can we (non subscribers) expect the new release? This is important to get rid of memory leaks due to addBody calls.
