Question

How do I position individual images within a image group?

I’m currently using the following code:

--category 1
local light1 = display.newImage("Images/Category 1/pistol1.png")
local light2 = display.newImage("Images/Category 1/machinePistol1.png")

--category 1 image group
local lightGroup = display.newGroup()
lightGroup.x, lightGroup.y = 100, 150
lightGroup:insert( light1 )
lightGroup:insert( light2 )
lightGroup.isVisible = false

But it places both the images on top of each other.

Answer 1

You still have to set the X, Y on each of the images you are creating.

 light1.x = 100
 light1.y = 100
 light2.x = 200
 light2.y = 100
