  The 's' in your object is lowercase here:
  
  local shape = Shape.new()
  
  but the 's' is uppercase here:
  
  Shape:beginPath()
  Shape:moveTo(0,0)
  
  Either this is a typo or you might not fully understand the concept. Post if you need help with the concept.

  i tried to fix it... but
  print("hello world")
  local texture = Texture.new("images/ball.png")
  local image = Bitmap.new(texture)
  image:setPosition(40,40)
  stage:addChild(image)
  local shape = Shape.new()
  shape:setLineStyle(5, 0Xff0000,1)
  shape:setFillStyle(Shape.SOLID,0x0000ff,0.5)
  shape:beginPath()
  shape:moveTo(0,0)
  shape:lineTo(0,100)
  shape:lineTo(100,100)
  shape:lineTo(100,0)
  shape:closePath()
  shape:endPath()
  shape:setPosition(40,40)
  Stage:addChild(shape)
  results in:
  main.lua:17: index '__userdata' cannot be found
  stack traceback:
  main.lua:17: in main chunk

  You've now got an uppercase 'S' on 'stage' in the final stage:addChild(shape). Is that the problem?

  maybe "stage" instead of "Stage"?

  @Harrison
  you should explore the concept of classes (Stage, Shape > Those names are defined) and instances of classes (stage, shape > You can name it however you want).
  
  This article on Lua Naming conventions might help also.
  
  you could have the following:

  local myShape = Shape.new()

  if you want.
  
  The confusion might come from the fact that in Gideros stage is an instance of Stage that is already available for you so you can not user another name.
  Probably something like this is happening behind the scenes :

  stage = Stage.new(parameters)

  Same for :

  application = Application.new(parameters)

  
  Once multi stages are available (as discussed by Atilim a while ago) you will probably have the ability to do :

  myStage1 = Stage.new(parameters) myStage2 = Stage.new(parameters)

  ---

  
  In books, I like when they use specific names to show that the user has freedom to name his variables.
  Your code would be :

  -- ############################### -- DONE FOR YOU BY GIDEROS. DON'T DO IT. HERE FOR CLARIFICATION -- -> stage = Stage.new() -- ###############################   -- Create myImage local myTexture = Texture.new("images/ball.png") local myImage = Bitmap.new(myTexture) myImage:setPosition(40,40) stage:addChild(myImage)   -- Create myShape local myShape = Shape.new() myShape:setLineStyle(5, 0Xff0000,1) myShape:setFillStyle(Shape.SOLID,0x0000ff,0.5) myShape:beginPath() myShape:moveTo(0,0) myShape:lineTo(0,100) myShape:lineTo(100,100) myShape:lineTo(100,0) myShape:closePath() myShape:endPath() myShape:setPosition(40,40) stage:addChild(myShape)

  Does that help to clarify?
  
  Other devs with more experience might correct me if I'm wrong / or if more clarifications are need.

  last thing, you can use

  < pre lang="lua" >your code here< /pre >

  to have your code formatted (remove spaces).
  It's easier to for us to scan your code that way, and for you to get quick and relevant answers.
