  use < pre lang= "lua" > code < /pre > without spaces to format code.
  
  1 - you could use Timer(), os.timer() or Event.ENTERFRAME to add 1 on each call.
  I would go for timer class so that you can choose the speed of your counter.

  --create timer: 1000 milliseconds, 5 times = 5 seconds local onLevelTimer = Timer.new(1000, 5) --set initial counter value local counter = 0   local function endTimer() --this is called on TIMER COMPLETE print("Timer End", counter) end   local function onTime() --this is called at the end of every repeat counter = counter+1 print("ON TIME", counter) end   --event listeners onLevelTimer:addEventListener(Event.TIMER, onTime) onLevelTimer:addEventListener(Event.TIMER_COMPLETE, endTimer)   --start the timer onLevelTimer:start()

  2 - I am not sure I understood the question: I think you should be able to use level[i] if you have a "level" table with a valid index value.

  Will this change the level after a certain amount of time though? I want it to switch levels after a certain amount of points is reached, so a timer wouldn't work.

  I'm sorry I misunderstood your first question either..
  my example would change level on timer events, given the appropriate scenemanager call.
  Actually only once if it is placed inside a scene -because changing scene should destroy the first one, that contains the timer .
  
  Coming to the answer of your question, (I hope ) you need something to check if and when 60 points are reached: you can use an enterframe event, and your guess in the first post seems fine to me.

  function level1:onEnterFrame() if self.points == 60 then --If self.onLevel keeps track of "current level number", it should be increased by 1 --to go to the next one self.onLevel = self.onLevel + 1 sceneManager:changeScene(level[self.onLevel], conf.transitionTime, conf.transition, conf.easing) end end   self:addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, self.onEnterFrame, self)

  If my assumption on self.onLevel is right, and this scene ( level[number]) is available to scenemanager, I suppose it should work.

  everything works accept the start function. it doesnt like the line self.onLevel

  Ah, because it is outside of the init function.
  self doesn't exist here.
  Try this:

  function StartScene:init() self.onLevel = 1 sceneButton = {} for i = 1, 9 do ....

  It didn't like that either

  I'd say it's the same thing as before: the for statement (for i = 1, 9 do ) is outside of any scope of StartScene, thus there is no self to point to, nor self.onLevel.
  
  keeping my previous suggestion about self.onLevel, try also including the for statement inside init()

  self:addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_DOWN, self.btnClick, self)   --end -- move this (line 53)   for i = 1, 9 do if self.onLevel >= i then numberText[i]:setVisible(true) end end   end --here (line 61)

  and please be a little more specific about the errors you get
