Transition on text halts at a tap

Hello, I’m trying to display “Speed up!” on screen when the score==50. I also have a touch listener attached to my background to move my character left and right.

Here is my code I’m using to show the text:

function speedup() speedup= display.newText(  "SPEED UP!", centerX, centerY, "Capture\_it", 46 ) sceneGroup:insert(speedup) speedup.xScale=5 speedup.yScale=5 speedup:setFillColor (0.96, 0.78, 0 ) transition.to ( speedup, {time=200,xScale=1,yScale=1} ) transition.to ( speedup,  {delay=200,time=3000,y=screenTop} ) transition.to ( speedup,  {delay=250,time= 800,alpha=0} ) print("TRANSITION COMPLETED") end if score ==50 then if d1==1 then speedup() audio.play(speedSound) end d1=d1+1 end

I have this in scene:create section. It shows up on screen as expected and does the transition it is supposed to but if during the transition I tap on my background to move my character it halts the transition wherever it is and stays their until the game ends.

I have tried to put this code in different portions of the scene but same thing happens

Please help!

Try this…

local function speedup() speedup = display.newText( "SPEED UP!", centerX, centerY, "Capture\_it", 46 ) sceneGroup:insert(speedup) speedup.xScale = 5 speedup.yScale = 5 speedup:setFillColor (0.96, 0.78, 0 ) transition.to( speedup, {time=200,xScale=1,yScale=1} ) transition.to( speedup, {delay=200,time=3000,y=screenTop} ) transition.to( speedup, {delay=250,time= 800,alpha=0} ) print( "TRANSITION COMPLETED" ) end

Isn’t this the same code I posted?

you had a global function i made it local.

#5

oh  yes, I’ve tried it doing that but no worries, anyway I’m leaving this text out for now. Maybe will experiment with it in my next app. Thanks

#6

Well its probably a very simple fix.

#7

nope its not. The problem is not with the text but with the event.listner I’ve spent too much tym on this app . I just wana get it done now

#8

Hey i was thinking and maybe you need to add a 

return true

 to your function which uses the event listener?

GoodLuck!
