Some help with storyboard

[bogdanmocanu2]

Hi,

  I am having a big trouble using storyboard.I managed to go to a “GameOver” scene,but when I tap the restart button,all that apears is a black screen.

   I want “levelOne” scene to be removed (all the objects,event listeners,physics,etc) when the player transition to “GameOver” scene.How I do that?

  Here’s the whole code,tell me where I am mistakeing

Thanks & happy hollidays!

@bog,

Hi.  This is not a full answers, but I want to suggest before you spend time learning any more about storyboard, you consider switching to composer (scene library).  Storyboard is no longer the official scene management library.

As far as managing objects (having them auto removed), do the following:

1. Don’t use globals to hold references to objects.

2. If you can’t avoid #1, be sure to clear those references when the scene is removed.

3. IMPORTANT - Add all objects that you want ‘auto-managed’ by a scene to that scene’s group OR to a group which in turn you’ve added to the scene’s group. The key here is, if the object is not a child or grand-child of a scene’s group, the scene won’t manage it.

Hi,

Thanks for the answer I’ll try using composer to see how that works.
