Return to previous scene in same state

Director Class
#1

I have had pretty good luck with Director Class for game apps. I am trying to use Director Class with Widgets … specifically the TableView. I want to select a row in the TableView list, go to a new scene, then return to the TableView scene at the same point I left.

With the TableView you can scroll the list to anywhere. I can use a changeScene to return to the TableView scene but I do not know how to return to the previous point where I scrolled and then selected a row.

Can I return to the previous scene at the point where it left off? changeScene simply reloads the scene from scratch.

Thanks.

Never mind.

I found the function TableView:scrollToY

I simply save the position when going to the sub-scene and then if it has been saved when I return to the scene with the TableView I simply scroll back to that position with this function. I make sure when I launch that scene from the menu button it zeros the saved location first so no previously saved location causes an incorrect reposition.

It seems to work nicely.

Learned the same thing the other night…just keep global State somewhere so you can restore it. [import]uid: 58455 topic_id: 22770 reply_id: 95801[/import]
