Hi guys,
I’ve separated my UI screens into each its own file. A basic setup looks like this, which I “require” as a module:
local M = {}
-- intialize function variables
local createScreen
-- required
local thisScreen
-- Initialization function
local init = function( delay )
thisScreen = display.newGroup()
local delay = delay or 0
timer.performWithDelay( delay, createScreen)
end
M.init = init
createScreen = function()
-- THE CODE TO BUILD UP THE SCREEN ELEMENTS GOES HERE
end
return M However, this works great and has no flaws. Until I start using a screen like this a second time. This could be the start screen or an options screen. All the local variables still seem to be active in the memory, and re-using a screen is now working against me.
I also tried to unrequire the file before use, using the following code :
thisScreen = nil -- this is the variable I used to "require" the file previously
package.loaded["scripts.ui.createPlayer"] = nil Why are the variables still loaded into the memory even after I unrequire the package? [import]uid: 86582 topic_id: 28944 reply_id: 328944[/import]
