Unfortunately I have not been able to get my app googly face on to the amazon market.
When I submitted the app I received an email to tell me that my app submission had been unsuccessful due an issue where the screen would go black if the app lost focus. For example if you took a phone call and then came back to the app it would now be black.
This proofed difficult to home down as it was only occurring on device, I could not reproduce the problem within the corona simulator.
Finally after hours of commenting bits of code out I homed it down to an issue with masking on the scrollers for picking googly parts.
Then after many hours of trying to fix it I realised the issue wasn't my code.. It was in fact an issue with corona.
I submitted this as a bug about two weeks ago... Its now finally been fixed today! Hats off to corona though. They do listen to there community and I had allot of support from staff members on the forums.
If you are not a subscriber you will not be able to install the version that supports it. Corona release fixes for subscribers. None subscribers can only get there hands on the stable version.
So next stop resubmission to the amazon market!

Corona Modules... the little buggers.
So Modules in Corona are easy to use but dont work so well...
Ansca may brag that coding with lua is "simpler" and less code than action script. But they should really look at why action script has matured over the years specifically to deal with issues like the one I am having with modules.
If your having trouble with global variables and modules that you thought you had cleared out but dont... then this might be the way forward. I think i will be trying this over the weekend...
A Better Approach to External Modules
I will right my own example when I understand this method better.

Another odd occurance... Thanks dad.
Over the last year or so both me and my mum have seen some odd things occur where they instantly remind us of my dad... And in all honestly sometimes its so strange I end up thinking its my dad causing it to happen.
Both of us have some even stanger odd occurances than the below.. But this one is "print" screenable...
Basically I have spent best part of 6months working on some functionality that tracks every track played on our jukeboxs and scrobbles them to last.fm. we keep a seperate account for just scrobbled background music. For the most part this plays totally random music from a caterlog that runs into the millions.
The screen shot below shows the top played background tracks over the last seven days...
For the most part the top tracks have been played 4 times.
But the number one spot has taken the place of one of my dads favourite artists Chicane with a total play of 7 times. Even more harrowing is the track title "Lost you somewhere"

Corona scroll menu/text/images
This evening, if I'm given a chance I will be looking at implementing scrollable menus into my new app. One to the left of the screen, one to the right and one at the bottom. I think the best place to start for this is by running through the below tutorial.
http://developer.anscamobile.com/content/scroll-view
All in all I need three menus on the screen at anyone time. Thats going to take up a fair old lump of screen real estate. Hoping I can still design it in such away that its still usable!
That said Im technical support for my mum this evening, her internet has been off over the weekend so I need to go fix that. ... Then its a Tesco shop trip!

Corona Local Vars
So last night I had 20 mins to spare after dinner at me mams house.
Just realised that if you dont mark a variable as "local" then you can access this if its sat in seperate module
sooo having the below in the main.lua....
local testlib = require("testlib")
print("testlib.hello")
....Will print what ever hello is equal to.
Local I suppose is the equivalent of a private variable in flash class.

Corona, Lua
Started writing a phone app using Corona. Corona is the compiler, the language is lua and you can get a plugin for it for eclispe. Plug-ins ok. Doesn't pick up on everything.
Its good though, bit similar to actionscript, in fact the creators of it I think are X adobe employees.
Still has its issues though. I would like to see classes, and I would like somthing similar to events. unique events like what you can create in action script. I think you can do stuff like modules... which are a bit like classes. Will research that a bit further.
Im going to stick at it though. I need to start learning new languages.

vhub- biggest day yet in my career.
I'm writing this on the train down to London. This week the vhub, a jukebox I have been heavily involved with the development of had its unveiling to the public at the industrys main event. The eag EXPO. It's been a big week for sound leisure who I work for. But for me It's what I've been chasing for a long time, a chance to show I can run with the best of them. At school and for the most part of my career It's been a struggle. A struggle to get to where i am, a struggle to understand and learn about the industry Im in .. web/it/programing. But this is proof to myself that I am capable.
so sad that I haven't been able to share this week with my dad that died a year yesterday. One of the few who understood and saw the struggles in the career I chose. But like he said many years ago now.... things turn out alright in the end.

image load null
Had loads of trouble with the vhub that's on site the last few weeks. It's an issue with it trying to load an image from the items array but the item doesn't exist. I think its because the user has already scrolled to the next page. Ripped the image class out today and just did the image load code from the grid display class. The vhub has been resetting on site to. I don't think the above is the cause though
