NVRMIND but at line 30 i get that retarded "loop in gettable' error. This is the line of the error.

Code:

---

if stick.x>480 then

---

---

Code:

---

if stick.x > 480 then

---

try wit spaces

No dice...
black = Color.new(0, 0, 0)

life = 1
coll = 0

stick = Image.load("stick.png")
spike = Image.load("spike.png")
background = Image.load("background.pn g")
death = Image.load("death.png")

player = {}
player[1] = { x=240, y=200, life=1, stick=player[1] }
Okay look at the bold parts. is this possible? this might be the cause of my problems

No that is not possible. You say that player[1].stick=player[1]. You cant assign something to itself.

The songs play right after each other without the loop. The loop is there so the songs will play [one after another] 9999 times ( so for a long time ). There is no need to have it pause in game, it needs to be playing as soon as the game starts, but not in the menus.

Ok i understand, but again, what exactly is your problem? I just dont get your post where you state your problem. Because i think you left out a "t" after the "can", or am i wrong? Please say it again. (maybe im just being really stupid :o )

Sorry, I forgot to mention it...

Well whenever i try to play that along the with the game, it only plays the music and doesnt let you play the game.

It will play along side game if i only tell it to playback one of the music files.

Code:

---

frame_1 = Image.load("frame_1.png")
frame_2 = Image.load("frame_2.png")
frame_3 = Image.load("frame_3.png")
screen:clear()

while (true) do
--Put image to memory and flip it to screen
        screen:blit(0, 0, frame_1)
        screen.flip()
--Keep frame showing for 8 milliseconds
        screen.WaitVblankStart(8) 
--Clear screen to start over
        screen:clear()

        screen:blit(0, 0, frame_2)
        screen.flip()
        screen.WaitVblankStart(8) 
        screen:clear()

        screen:blit(0, 0, frame_3)
        screen.flip()
        screen.WaitVblankStart(8) 
        screen:clear()
end
