Adding functions to onEnterFrame
You've made mousedown local to the onMouseDown and onMouseUp functions so it won't be recognised in the onEnterFrame function. Define local mousedown outside the functions and then just use mousedown=false and mousedown=true in the first t…

Movie Clip
You're welcome. It made me play with that type of movement which I hadn't tried before. I got some really gloopy changes of direction by playing with the start and finish frames and the start and finish scales while I was working out what …

Movie Clip
@Cyberience - I've just had a fiddle with the code and could only get it to work if I put the scaleX as a separate command timed to happen at the end of the first move, like this: self:addChild(boatR) mcBoat=MovieClip.new{ {1,500, boatR,{x={-50…

Well, you can scrap my idea! I just tried it and it doesn't work....

I haven't tried the sort of syntax you are using but I would imagine that scaleX might just need one value and not the pair you have given.

Layers again and timed additions
Every time you add a sprite I'd try removing the foreground layer from the stage and then immediately adding it to the stage again to bring it to the front. I seem to remember reading that you don't actually have to remove it first, simp…

Any Checklists for completing an app?
@loucsam, there's a lot of discussion about scaling here: http://www.giderosmobile.com/forum/discussion/1929/understanding-scaling-and-resolution-on-different-devices-/p1 Hope that helps.

You can't stop the music
I think you need to use a sound channel e.g. soundChannel=titletune:play(100,true)then you should be able to use soundChannel:stop()to stop it. I think that works.

How to dynamically place objects?
actually this method will work for only on know ratio it will not work when new device launched with new type of aspect ratio or might be any missed ratio also for the resolutions like 480x800 and 480x854 ratio would be almost same. so i think my me…

How to dynamically place objects?
@OZApps, that's really helpful as far as tables are concerned and the way they can be used. Many thanks for taking the time to write the article - it is duly bookmarked. :) The thing I noticed when reading it that I'd not spotted before i…

@OZApps, that will be great. Thanks.

How to dynamically place objects?
@OZApps, thanks for that. I'm not a very efficient coder and don't make anything like enough use of tables (although I'm very slowly getting better at it) so that is really useful. In this instance, as well as having adjustments for…

@WauloK - I had a similar problem keeping a close button (and other things, but just close button stuff shown here) in top right corner. In main lua I got the aspect ratio of the screen using:local aspect=application:getDeviceHeight()/application:ge…

Sound .wav Sound format is not supported
@yubaro I use wav files for any sfx that need to happen in sync with specific actions and mp3 for background music, speech etc and anything else where a slight time lag in the sound starting doesn't matter. It does mean that overall file sizes …

Sound .wav Sound format is not supported
I usually convert mp3 to 22050 khz 16 bit wav and that works fine. I have tried lower quality wav files to save file size and with some settings have given the "not supported" error. Can't remember what settings gave it to me. You mig…

Corona went free!
The new documentation looks very helpful. When I started with Corona (before I'd found Gideros) I knew nothing about lua or what sort of things I could do with it. Because of that, I found that the Corona API reference that listed all of the …

Corona went free!
I'd agree that a splash screen is a more than fair trade-off given the freedom and control that Gideros gives, not to mention the great support. Also, it doesn't cost that much to license if you don't like the splash screen. I started…

ZeroSphere in the PlayStore
@arcadia Did the purchasers cancel their orders or were they cancelled by Google because their credit card didn't clear? You can get repeated purchases and cancellations due to people keeping trying a useless credit card.

Monster Mine is live on appstore
Using the back button on the initial Utimate games screen causes it to stop with an error pop up on my Chinese market ZTE running Android 4.0.4. Other than that, I echo what others are saying - it's a very playable and addictive game! Well done.

New day, new problems :) (Rotate an physics object towards direction of movement)
That's good. I did notice that every time the fish hits a side wall it turns upside down compared with it's orientation before the collision. Did you mean that?

Very sorry to hear of your losses.

Stop sound.play on button click
If you use a sound channel to play the sound then you can stop the sound channel. So use something like self.soundChannel=self.sound:play()to play the sound and then self.soundChannel:stop() to stop it.
