Great!! It worked!!

One more question though: now the images appear in the topleft corner..how do I position them? They will all be at the center..do I have to do one at a time or position the array itself?

Thanks a lot!!!

array[i].x=200 -- position x
array[i].y=200 -- position y

I tried something like that, but i got

-----------------------
Director ERROR: Failed to execute new( params ) function on 'final'.
-----------------------
attempt to index field '?' (a nil value)
-----------------------

on that line!!

array= {}
local i = 1

array[i]= display.newImage("image1.png");array[i].alpha=0;i=i+1

array[i]= display.newImage("image2.png");array[i].alpha=0;i=i+1

array[3]= display.newImage("image3.png");array[i].alpha=0;i=i+1

--you can copy and paste the above lines and just change the filename

function selectimage()
local randomimage = math.random(1,#array)
--1 to highest index in the table
array[randomimage].alpha=1
array[randomimage].x=400
array[randomimage].y=200
end

selectimage()

working!!!

duuude you guys are awesome...thanks a lot!!!!

Last question, I swear...lol

How do I set the size of the images now? I need their width to be padronized as the content.Width!!

array= {}
local i = 1

array[i]= display.newImage("image1.png");array[i].alpha=0;i=i+1

array[i]= display.newImage("image2.png");array[i].alpha=0;i=i+1

array[3]= display.newImage("image3.png");array[i].alpha=0;i=i+1

--you can copy and paste the above lines and just change the filename

function selectimage()
local randomimage = math.random(1,#array)
--1 to highest index in the table
array[randomimage].alpha=1
array[randomimage].x=400
array[randomimage].y=200
array[randomimage].xScale=0.3
array[randomimage].yScale=0.3
end

selectimage()

There;)

I would recommend sizing and positoning the images when you create the array (the less you have to do to the image later the better, do as much processing as needed when you set stuff up, ok so your app might take an extra second to open but it will preform better after it is.... may make no differance on your project if it is small)

array[i]= display.newImage("image1.png");
array[i].x=400;
array[i].y=200;
array[i].alpha=0;
array[i].xScale=0.3;
array[i].yScale=0.3;
i=i+1;

That only leaves setting the alpha in your function. (might want to use display.newImageRect)

(oh.... the ";" is the same as a new line.... sometimes it makes the code, or blocks of code, easier to handle)

array[i]= display.newImage("image1.png");array[i].x=400;array[i].y=200;array[i].alpha=0;array[i].xScale=0.3;array[i].yScale=0.3;i=i+1;
