#5

Image sheets don’t require the old sprite library, so this an odd error. What Corona build are you using?

Didn’t the graphics.newImageSheet() come to us in a build AFTER 704? I would download the latest stable build and try it from there. [import]uid: 19626 topic_id: 32546 reply_id: 129468[/import]

Yes, I think you’re correct Rob. Image sheets rolled out sometime in early 2012, and Build 704 is from late 2011. I suspected this was why the term “newImageSheet” was throwing an error.

maqajma, please download the latest Public Build .894 and your code should work fine.

Thanks,
Brent
