    Knowing how the name of an object in LUA

    In the example "Jumping Balls2" given with Gideros.
    In the function "Ball: onEnterFrame (event)" I would like to know the name of ball that uses this function

    I thought I could recover proporiété self.name in the funcrion "Ball: onEnterFrame (event)"

    And the function "Ball: init (texture)" to the statement "self.name = self: GetName ()" - but getName does not exist! @-)

      Hi AhBadiane. I'm a bit out of practice with Lua at the moment (learning Java for a while) but I guess you could add a "textureName" property to the Ball class which could hold the name of the .png file which has been used to create a ball instance - something like:
      function Ball:init(texture)
   self.textureName = texture
      You could then add a "getTextureName" method which would retrieve the value of this property for a given ball; I think it's something like:
      function Ball:getTextureName()
   return self.textureName
end
      Is this the kind of thing you mean...?
