hi,

it’s a stupid question but i don’t see my error :wacko:

why i don’t see my star at the correct position ?

when i print the position the result is true but on the screen all of my star is at the same position…

thanks very much for your help :wink:

local star = {} for a=1,3 do star[a] = display.newImageRect( "star.png",40,40 ) star[a].alpha = 1 --.5 star[a].xScale=1 star[a].yScale = 1 star[a].flag = true end --for star[1].x=150 star[1].y=150 star[2].x=250 star[2].y=-120 star[3].x=-150 star[3].y=-150 for a=1, 3 do print(star[a].x) end

The second and third stars are not on the screen. See the negative values? y=-120 puts it above the top of the screen and x=-150,y=-150 puts it above and left of the screen. The first star is the only one on the screen.

I knew it was a stupid mistake but now I am embarrassed … thank you for your answer
