trouble converting storyboard to copmposer

[edualc]

hi all,

i’ve tryng to convert a game working well with storyboard. not too hard, going from one scene to the other (and vice-versa) via a reset screen.

reset screen in which i say if previous scene=scene1 goto scene2 etc…

that works well however the scene:hide - phase = “did” NEVER HAPPENS

I have printed every scene entry and i can see that it never goes through the “did” phase.

it does go through the scene:destroy  though

I triple checked the syntax for hours and found other bizarre behaviours. I noticed that problem because my enterFrame listener of scene1 was still active when in scene2. it crashed trying to apply a force to an object that didnt exist anymore. there too, I added

Runtime:removeEventListener(“enterFrame”, everyframe)

pretty much everywhere in the scene:hide (of “will” as the “did” doesnt seem to be called) and in the scene:destroy.

I did it many times etc…

no way, the enterframe listener keeps running like a mad dog.

function everyframe(event) if (vlad11.head) then         vlad11.head:applyForce( 0, -100, vlad11.head.x, vlad11.head.y ) end .. CRASH end Runtime:addEventListener("enterFrame", everyframe)

for a while I thought maybe i’m missing an ‘end’ into a set of if…then…end and maybe corona gets confused. but i checked it all .

anyone having similar problem ?

If I run the Composer sample app in the SampleCode/Interface folder and I change scene1.lua to print out the will and did phases of scene:hide(), I see both print statements show up in the console log:

The only change I made was to add:

        elseif phase == “did” then
                print(“1: hide event, phase did”)

so that I could see both phases print.  It seems to be working as I expect it too.  Can you post your scene?   Can you compare your code to the sample app?

thanks Rob.

I’m trying to reproduce using the template.
So far it works however i have a lots more things that can go wrong including enter_frame listener and physics etc…

so i’m building things inside the template until the truth will be revealed…

I’m also using function listener as I find them more user-friendly than table listener… that’s why i dropped Flash … to get a user-friendly language…

will advise

ok, i’ve taken the template and left it to the bare minimum, what it shows is not quite my original problem however it may be the cause (or not) , I’ve left only scene1,scene2 and reset.

you will see that when clicking reset it then goes TWICE through show event, WILL and DID of the same scene. 

it doesnt happen if i go from scene1 to scene2 directly, only via reset.

and here is the code originally from the template. I meant here is the code stripped down that should work.

yet somehow the reset.lua makes the scene we refresh to goes TWICE through the show:will and show:did

any idea, anyone ?
