event.name

Overview

For the show event, event.name is the string value "show". It can be accessed from the event listener for show events that are dispatched to [scene][api.type.scene] objects.

Example

--------------------------
-- From "scene1.lua"
--------------------------
composer.gotoScene( "scene2", { effect="fade", time=800 } )

--------------------------
-- In "scene2.lua"
--------------------------
local composer = require( "composer" )
local scene = composer.newScene()

function scene:show( event )
    print( event.name )
end
scene:addEventListener( "show" )
