Corona SDK composer - changing scenes doesn't work - sdk

Question

I have a little problem with corona SDK composer API. I got 3 .lua files- main.lua, character.lua and job.lua. The problem is, when I run the game, it automatically transits to character.lua and everything's fine. Then I'm transiting to job.lua and it works as well, but when I'm trying to come back to character.lua- nothing happens (the background doesn't change).That's how it look like:
main.lua:
local composer = require("composer")
composer.gotoScene("character")
character.lua:
local composer = require( "composer" )
local scene = composer.newScene()
-- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- All code outside of the listener functions will only be executed ONCE unless "composer.removeScene()" is called.
-- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- local forward references should go here
-- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- "scene:create()"
function scene:create( event )
local sceneGroup = self.view
-- Initialize the scene here.
-- Example: add display objects to "sceneGroup", add touch listeners, etc.
local widget = require("widget")
local bottomTabButtons ={
{ width=32, height=32, defaultFile="character.png", overFile="character_active.png", selected="true"},
{ width=32, height=32, defaultFile="job.png", overFile="job_active.png", onPress=function() composer.gotoScene( "job" )end},
}
local bottomBar = widget.newTabBar{
top = display.contentHeight-40,
buttons = bottomTabButtons
}
end
-- "scene:show()"
function scene:show( event )
local sceneGroup = self.view
local phase = event.phase
if ( phase == "will" ) then
-- Called when the scene is still off screen (but is about to come on screen).
elseif ( phase == "did" ) then
-- Called when the scene is now on screen.
-- Insert code here to make the scene come alive.
-- Example: start timers, begin animation, play audio, etc.
end
end
-- "scene:hide()"
function scene:hide( event )
local sceneGroup = self.view
local phase = event.phase
if ( phase == "will" ) then
-- Called when the scene is on screen (but is about to go off screen).
-- Insert code here to "pause" the scene.
-- Example: stop timers, stop animation, stop audio, etc.
elseif ( phase == "did" ) then
-- Called immediately after scene goes off screen.
end
end
-- "scene:destroy()"
function scene:destroy( event )
local sceneGroup = self.view
-- Called prior to the removal of scene's view ("sceneGroup").
-- Insert code here to clean up the scene.
-- Example: remove display objects, save state, etc.
end
-- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Listener setup
scene:addEventListener( "create", scene )
scene:addEventListener( "show", scene )
scene:addEventListener( "hide", scene )
scene:addEventListener( "destroy", scene )

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

The problem is your not inserting your display objects in to the scenegroup. Thats why its not getting deleted. Insert all your objects in to the scenegroup.
For example,
local background = display.newImage("background.png")
background.x=display.contentCenterX
background.y=display.contentCenterY
background.height=display.contentHeight
background.width=display.contentWidth
sceneGroup:insert(background)
--- This is the change. Same way insert all the objects in to this group.
