Hi,
If all the images are in the same directory as the main.lua file, then they work, now if I would want to put them separate for each level, and organise them as
level1
----image1.png
----image2.png
level2
----image1.png
----image2.png
would display.newImage("level1/image1.png") work?
It is not for me, so just wondering what is the alternative?
cheers,

as far as i know everything needs to be in one directory
use
level1_image1.png
level1_image2.png
level2_image1.png
etc

Yes you can put images in subdirectory’s.
Works for me [import]uid: 6981 topic_id: 3529 reply_id: 10672[/import]
putting my images in “images/” works just fine for me too. [import]uid: 11024 topic_id: 3529 reply_id: 10688[/import]
You might want to build for device and test directories on the device. If I recall from previous posts, the corona simulator understands directories, but the device will fail when trying to load an image.
Have not tried this personally though. [import]uid: 8541 topic_id: 3529 reply_id: 10694[/import]
I’m testing just fine on my iPhone4 as far as images with directories go. The only thing not working on the device for me is playEventSound. [import]uid: 11024 topic_id: 3529 reply_id: 10697[/import]
Hi,
I tried with lev1/image1.png only to get an error, so does it work only with the images name? (haven’t tried, must try before asking)
Thanks, need to look into that
local image1 = display.newImage(level .. "\_image1.png") is not exactly what I want to maintain in my code, and how many directories deep would this work? in the sense,
Level1
----Villians
| ----Char1.png
| ----Char2.png
----Backdrops
----Scene1.png
----Scene2.png
----Animated
-----Sun.png
-----Stars.png
-----Birds.png
Level2
----Villians
| ----Char1.png
| ----Char2.png
----Backdrops
----Scene1.png
----Scene2.png
----Animated
-----Sun.png
-----Stars.png
-----Birds.png
and so on…

i read something about android having problems with images with the same name (ignoring the extension)
in this case though the images were:
something.jpg
something.png
the advice was to use something_jpg.jpg and something_png.png so that they are different without the file extension
this may be the case when using images in subfolders where the images have the same name. I couldnt say for sure [import]uid: 6645 topic_id: 3529 reply_id: 10713[/import]
i dont know how deep you can go because I am only going one level atm, but I have no problems on all iOS devices putting images in directories. including sprite sheets, however the accompanying lua file needs to be in the main directory.
local mainMenuSheet = sprite.newSpriteSheetFromData(“images/menu-mainSheet.png”, require(“menu-mainSheet”).getSpriteSheetData())
local titleSign = display.newImage(“images/title-sign.png”,0,0)
Both work fine.

Does your level variable include the forward slash? [import]uid: 11024 topic_id: 3529 reply_id: 10720[/import]
Hi Everybody,
yes I did use the forward slash. I will try again, with a blank project just to test this first. I am also getting a 7" Android 2.1/2.2 tablet for testing on a physical device, I will let you know.
