Using picker wheel with Director

Director Class
#1

I am trying to use the picker wheel widget with Director and not getting the results I expect.

I create a new picker wheel as follows:

local mydata = { data = { "val1", "val2", "val3", "val4", "val5", "val6", "val7" }, width = 100 }  
local myPicker = widget.newPickerWheel{ column1=mydata }  
myPicker.y = display.contentHeight - myPicker.height  
myPicker.x = 0  
localGroup:insert(mydata) --this line makes the data and error appear  
localGroup:insert(myPicker.view)

If I leave out the localGroup:insert(mydata) line, I get an empty picker wheel but no errors. If I include that line, I see the data in the wheel but I get this error from Director: “Director ERROR: Failed to execute new(params) function on ‘settings’.”

Any advice on the correct way to use this widget with Director? [import]uid: 52748 topic_id: 14758 reply_id: 314758[/import]
