    Scene Manager and keeping scene state

    Hi all

    Probably a stupid question, but I'd like to use Scene Manager to pause the game, open an Options screen, then be able to go back to the previous scene with the same state of the game running previously.

    I see that Scene Manager effectively destroys the scene after transitioning out and creates a new one transitioning in.

    I've tried keeping a table of active scenes, like this

    function SceneManager:changeScene(scene, duration, transition, ease)
    if self.tweening then
    return
    end

    if self.scene1 == nil then
    if self.scenesActive[scene] == nil then self.scenesActive[scene] = self.scenes[scene].new() end
    self.scene1 = self.scenesActive[scene]
    self:addChild(self.scene1)
    dispatchEvent(self, "transitionBegin")
    dispatchEvent(self.scene1, "transitionInBegin")
    dispatchEvent(self, "transitionEnd")
    dispatchEvent(self.scene1, "transitionInEnd")
    return
    end

    self.duration = duration
    self.transition = transition
    self.ease = ease or defaultEase

    if self.scenesActive[scene] == nil then self.scenesActive[scene] = self.scenes[scene].new() end
    self.scene2 = self.scenesActive[scene]
    self.scene2:setVisible(false)
    self:addChild(self.scene2)

    self.time = 0
    self.currentTimer = os.timer()
    self.tweening = true
    end


    but when I go back to my previous scene nothing is shown on the screen (events get fired again and the state of internal variables is there, but nothing on screen...)

    What am I missing ? Or is there (surely) a better way to accomplish this ?

    Thanks in advance.

    Cheers,
    Paolo
