Sorry for being such a bug and asking so many questions butI am trying to switch from main.lua to menu.lua instantly . This s the code  have . This is the error im getting.

Code:

local storyboard = require( "storyboard" ) local widget = require( "widget" ) -- Load Corona 'ads' library local ads = require "ads" -- Hide the status bar display.setStatusBar( display.HiddenStatusBar ) -- The name of the ad provider. local provider = "admob" -- Your application ID local appID = "Bouncy balls" -- load menu screen global storyboard = storyboard.gotoScene( "menu" )

Error:

main.lua:18: ‘=’ expected near ‘storyboard’

why am I getting this there is an = by storyboard and if I put = anywhere else it says enexpected symbol ner that thing that I put the = by. lastly I put global storyboard = storyboard.gotoScene( “menu” )

cause debugger told me to . thank you

The word “global” is giving you an error since it is not a Lua keyword.

To move to another scene in storyboard:

storyboard.gotoScene("menu") 

Notice that gotoScene does not return a value, therefore there is no need to declare a variable for this call… just call it.

Also, If you are starting a new project, use composer instead of storyboard, but both work the same way. Composer replaces storyboard.
