I have no idea what's wrong. I was working with Director 1.2, and had the following issue. Director 1.3 came out and had the same problem, so it's not specific to the version. Also, using .484 version of Corona.

OK, the main loads fine, changeScene to a splash screen fine, that changes to a menu fine. Here's where I run into issues. When I did a changescene to a menu choice scene, it would load it for a split second, then switch back to the menu scene and load that again. There was no code on that menu to do that. Also no errors.

So I created a test project. Made a main, screen1, screen2, and screen3. All using the templates from 1.3. Main loads screen1, that's OK. In screen1 I had a print command and a scene change to screen2, thats both worked. In screen2, I did the same, print and change, but this time nothing. No errors, nothing.

I'm confused. Can you not keep switching scene after scene, or is there a limit?

You can switch scenes forever to your heart's content :)

Perhaps post some of your code for us to look at?

All I can guess is you are using scenes with builtin timed scene-switching (which a lot of people do) and if you are basing your new scenes on this splash one, it will keep changing scenes after 1-5 seconds.

OK, here is my test project. The only commands outside the template I use are print() and changeScene(). In the terminal, it will print main and screen1, and thats it. Never goes on to the other two screens. What crazy thing am I doing wrong?

Thanks...
