Hey,

I just thought I'd share this little tidbit. I don't know whether you use an Object Orientated approach to your Corona Development, but if you do, neatly fitting display objects into any hierarchy you use can be a pain, particularly if you try to follow the model set out in Programming in Lua.

I figured I'd sit down and figure out an approach which would allow me to create a custom display group in much the same way I'd create any other object in Lua. A bit of headscratching later, and this is want I came up with

So here's an example of how I've managed to create a custom display group:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
15
16
17
18

CustomClass={}
 
function CustomClass:new()
        o=display.newGroup()
        local metatable=getmetatable(o)
        local index=metatable.__index
        metatable.__index= function (table,key) 
                if CustomClass[key] then
                        return CustomClass[key]
                end
                return index(table,key)
        end
 
      return o
end
 
function CustomClass:newFunction()
end
