Transition help

I have this line of code that make hands move across the screen.. When its reached the other side of the screen I want them to move back from where they came from.. So essentially what I am trying to accomplish is hands moving back and forth on the bottom of the screen..

With the code I have here they just stop after the first time..Does anybody know how to fix this?

local function moveHand()
local hands = display.newImageRect("hands.png", 200, 127)
hands.x = screenW + hands.contentWidth; 
hands.y = 700
local moveSpeed = 5000
local moveRight = transition.to(hands, {time=moveSpeed, x= 550})
transition.to(hands, {time=moveSpeed, x=-50, onComplete=moveRight})
end

ok with some tests I was able to move the hand back but I don't know how to loop the function can somebody help me with that..

local box = display.newRect(0,0,50,50)
box.x = 0
box.y = 500
function transition_to_left()
        transition.to(box, {time=2000, x = 0, y = box.y, onComplete = transition_to_right})
end
 
function transition_to_right()
        transition.to(box, {time=2000, x = 300, y = box.y, onComplete = transition_to_left})
end
 
transition_to_right()

Thank you so much dark consoles!! Looks just pong!!

Hey dark Console!! Can you help me figure out how I can tell the program to only dispatch the dispatcher when the hands are inside the hit spot that I have created? Heres the code that I have so far

THANK YOU SO MUCH NE.HANNA!! THATS EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just tested ne.hannah and it worked great!! Thanks again!

how would you "stop" the transition ? I am looking to pressing a button and stopping the transition and then have that "object" turn into a "static" object.

You can do something like this to stop it

1

Runtime:removeEventListener ("touch", screenTouch)

You can also erase moving objects and put static ones in their place. The use case for this would be an explosion replace an enemy object.

@crssmn

do you mean changing the alpha=0 on the transition.to ?
that just makes it "invisible".

"You can also erase moving objects and put static ones in their place.", do you mean like setting the object = nil ?
