im trying to make a sprite that switches to its next frame once tapped but i have no clue how it works, i have the image and everything but i dont know how the code goes

There are many ways to handle this, here is one example:

this sorta helps but how do i call to a different lua file?

There is no single one-size fits all answer that will help you out here.   So, it is very hard to give you an answer.

There are so many ways to solve this I’d be here all day writing them out and giving you working code.  Corona is very flexible in terms of solutions to tasks.

I’d take a time out on this and work my way through the Guides and Tutorials (like we all did).

• https://docs.coronalabs.com/guide/index.html
• https://docs.coronalabs.com/tutorial/index.html

Then peruse the API docs.  Finally, you can take apart the many samples that come with Corona when you install it.

• https://docs.coronalabs.com/api/

The docs on this site are incredible and thorough, but you still have to invest time to get a foundational understanding of how things work.

As well, be sure you’re up to speed on Lua (see Michael’s links above)

PS - There are good books out there too if you want additional sources to take you through learning Corona fundamentals.

One last note.  While it is nice that you posted code, it is hard to help based on that code.

Another way to get specific help here is to make a tiny (just config.lua and main.lua as well as any required images, etc.) test-bench project showing what you have so we can download and run it.

Then you can ask for help fixing a specific issue with that test bench.

Just make the example as tiny as humanly possible but so that it still runs and is legible.
