Runtime error asserion failed

Hi,

I have this code:
for i = 1,#imageSet do
local p = display.newImage(imageSet[i])
g:insert§
p:addEventListener( “touch”, listener )

end
But terminal say me Runtime error assertion failed! on the line where I do addEventListener.

g is a display.newGroup()

and listener is defined as:

function listener(event)

print (“HIT”)

return true
end

Any possible solution?

thanks.

David.

most likely your function “listener” is not defined before you add it to addEventListener. [import]uid: 48521 topic_id: 8586 reply_id: 44279[/import]

you the man!

Funny thing is I had 4 functions declared AFTER the addEventListener and they all worked just fine. But, as soon as I added a new one it would give me that error! weird uh?
cheers and thanks sooooo much for your help you prevented me from going to the psych ward.

global functions can be anywhere in the file

local functions must be declared BEFORE they are used… [import]uid: 6175 topic_id: 8586 reply_id: 44638[/import]
