count - Get number of objects by name Corona SDK -


i'm trying see if it's possible objects same name. i'm using following code load bunch of circles on screen. have same

local mycircle = display.newcircle(30+(ycount*20), 220+(ycount*10), 8) mycircle.name = "peg" 

i imagine there way i'm not sure such thing.

thanks

first of need circle array

array = {} 

then when create single circle, should add circle array

array[#array+1] = mycircle 

now here find function spesific name

local function findbyname( name )     local resultarray = {}     i=1, #array         if array[i].name == name              resultarray[#resultarray+1] = array[i]         end     end     return resultarray end 

so, @ end, when call

local temparray = findbyname( "peg" ) 

you'll circles named "peg" in temparray
