@robmiracle hey did you get my email [import]uid: 17058 topic_id: 19484 reply_id: 75196[/import]
No, not yet! [import]uid: 19626 topic_id: 19484 reply_id: 75198[/import]
I would think that in theory, the Storyboard API would be better since it could technically be native, although I’m not sure that’s the case right now.
Any insight devs? [import]uid: 49447 topic_id: 19484 reply_id: 75201[/import]

My personal opinion base on your question (which is better) I would go with Director Class very simple been used for a while so there is a lot of Q&A and I have worked on a lot of different games and all use director class and it does the job perfectly and hopefully newest version comes out soon which will bring new stuff.

I’ve tried both in the exact same app, and director is faster. Storyboard seems to have a split-second lag that is just barely noticeable to the user, but it gets annoying if you’re doing a lot of screen switching. Director is pretty much instant with no lag at all. [import]uid: 51654 topic_id: 19484 reply_id: 75303[/import]
Any update on this now? I haven’t been using the daily builds, but want to start using them if storyboard has been relatively cleaned of bugs now. Is that the case? Is director still better? I don’t want to rely on an “unsupported” director API but my experience with storyboard so far is that it is (1) VERY slow and (2) pretty buggy and complicated.

I’ve been using storyboard for most of my work lately.
I don’t want to comment on bugs and such since I’ve not been tracking all of them but for what I do I’ve not seen significant problems and we now have overlays (pop ups) and parameter passing. I’m now a happy storyfboard user. [import]uid: 19626 topic_id: 19484 reply_id: 105579[/import]
I’ve used Director for my first project, and I was very happy with it. I’m now putting together my second project, and this time, I’m using storyboard. Many of the earlier issues seem to have been fixed, and I’m pretty happy with it so far. It may take some time to become familiar with it, but it has a lot of pluses to off-set the effort it may take to master it.

Cool. Thanks. [import]uid: 135391 topic_id: 19484 reply_id: 105593[/import]
Just an FYI nate, you can see all of the changes since the last stable release here; http://developer.anscamobile.com/corona-daily-builds/summary (I believe that is the correct link for trial users, let me know if it isn’t displaying/loading correctly, please.)

To me Director class is amazing. I can use it blindly, meaning I don’t have to think. My current project is way to big to go back and convert which is why I am sticking with it. I had some memory issues, but I was able to clear that up.
the KEY is the local group. Whatever you are doing with the group, you have have groups in groups. I create a “masterGroup” which contains all the groups that are not the local group and I ensure to clean it all before scene changes (unless I want quicker access and want to go back, like a treasure room or something small).
That’s not to say I won’t use Storyboard, to me at least and maybe is the noob in me talking (ive said it before, and again, never ever coded before june 2011) I’ve found storyboard to be…too advanced. Haha, it does some crazy stuff I don’t quite understand and the scene management is oddball to me. I’m picking it up, I just haven’t sat down with it for a week and said “I WILL OWN YOUR FACE”.
It’s all what you want to use. Director is easy, storyboard could be easy too, I’m just not used to it
Robmiracle, you must use that lightsaber to cut down problems when helping people out. You sir are a certified bad ass, or a CBA.
Rob Miracle “CBA” lol. Nice ring to it.

In my opinion Director is better for one simple reason: source code. If you need some additional functionality, say like a special transition, you can add it to Director, whereas with Storyboard you have to ask for it then wait till Ansca/CoronaLabs eventually adds it, maybe.
I am not new to Corona, but am new to both Storyboard and Director. I started a project in Storyboard because it’s “official” and I really liked it to start with, but then realized that the transition effect (page curl) I wanted it not provided, nor was an acceptable alternative (over to left). Now, Director has neither of these either, but because I can edit the source, I was easily able to add “overToLeft” as well as some other functionality to replicate sceneEntered, and later if I want to, I can try to ad a page curl. I could not do this with Storyboard.
