dont you have to do something like...:

image = {}

...first?
I'm learning tables right now...sorry if its wrong. But I'm sure you have to define "image" as a table before using it as one.

Should be:

 
image = {}
for a = 1,1000 do
image[a]=Image.load("image" .. a .. ".png")
end

I'm not sure that Lua supports jpegs. Besides, PNG is a better format :P.

And for pete's sake people, is it really that hard to just freakin help someone instead of posting useless crap? It really makes me sick.

And it would have eventually been answered in the help thread, it just takes a small bit longer.

fatal error in script: "...small bit..." - false or nil value attempt to make true failed

lol

It would have been answered, but you would have to spam that thread to get answered anytime soon..

back on topic - BTW, did it work yet?

you forgot to add 1 to variable a when you go through the loop

In a for loop, it's done automatically .

[ttotto]

i no i have to add one but it wasnt working for me

[ttotto]

heres the code i have

image = {}
for a = 1,1362 do
local a
image[a]=Image.load("image" ..a.. ".jpeg")
end

this is the message i get:

attempt to concatenate local 'a' (a nil value)

[PSPMillionaire]

remove that local part. if that doesnt work try converting a to a string like below

image = {}
for a = 1,1362 do
image[a]=Image.load("image" ..tostring(a).. ".jpeg")
end

[ttotto]

i tied pspmillionairs ideas and both get
error loading image error

[b0xx0r]

You get an image loading error because, as I said earlier, you cannot load JPEGs, only PNGs.

you can load jpegs

go over to pspdevwiki and see.
try changing the photo extension from jpeg to jpg

[PSPMillionaire]

I think the error is due to the amount of images being loaded.
That's really an unreasonable amount of images to load for luaplayer.

[ttotto]

your probly right ill try to reduce the number of images
thx for the help
