You said you put images in the same folder. Did you mean you put it in a folder named images, or just the same as the script? It needs to be in a folder called images.

you also have no while true do, so it will onlyrun once

and take out all your screenflips an put this at the bottom(before end)

screen.waitVblankStart()
screen.flip()

LuaPlayer is programmed to ALWAYS say "no script file found". There should be an error above it, what does it say?

If you are only getting "no script file found", then you set up luaplayer wrong. Make a new folder in /Applications/ with your program name, then put index.lua inside it.
