Scene Manager not using transitions

MichaelStrauss

Hey guys,
So I recently started using Gideros and the Scene Manager looks sweet, and I have it working reasonably well. However when I change scene no transitions are displayed - the scene changes perfectly, just no actual effect.
Here's the code for changing scene:

sceneManager:changeScene("GameScene", 1, SceneManager.fade, easing.linear)


I've made sure to add scenemanager.lua and easing.lua in my project.
Thanks for any help
P.S. I'm really liking Gideros so far!

yup it is the all you need to do to change the scene however some of the things like loading assets in other scene, any running timer or enterframe event can definitely affect the desired effect

make sure there are no any timer or enterframe event affecting it and in the case you are loading much assets (images and sounds) try to load them at early stage

@MichaelStrauss you can try increasing transition time, just to check if something happens or not, as in:

sceneManager:changeScene("GameScene", 10, SceneManager.fade, easing.linear)

Thanks guys, I have now fixed my mistake:
rather than using

self:addChild(background)

I had previously been using

director:addChild(background)

Now the transition works as intended.
