Problem with setting points

There’s a problem with setting points, at last on the latest corona, win7.

first i thought i did a mistake following the tutorial at
http://lime.outlawgametools.com/tutorials/09-controlling-a-platformer-characters-jump/

but than i downloaded the map provided in a tutorial page and i was getting the same error:
lime-object.lua:945: bad argument #1 ‘newLine’ (number expected, got nil)
stack taceback:

C: in function ‘newLine’
…lime-object.lua:495: in function ‘create’

my main.lua:
lime = require(“lime.lime”)
local map = lime.loadMap(“lime2.tmx”)
local visual = lime.createVisual(map)
local physical = lime.buildPhysical(map)

Tiles "Z" rotation doesn't work

Tiles "Z" rotation doesn't work. It's actually working in mapeditor, but once I start the simulator it's not rotated.

Lime-Lychee: Absoulute paths are not supported for TileSets. You may want to edit your map in a text editor to fix this.

Might be same issue as reported 4 months ago on this error message. Everything is where it should be in the file structure and the code is printing to console, but showing this message instead of displaying the tiles.

All tilesets should be in root directory?

What's the problem in setting the self.rootDir to
self.rootDir = self.source

Runtime Error: isDebugModeEnabled nil value

code

local lime = require("lime.lime")
local map = lime.loadMap("test.tmx")

file text.tmx exits in project home dir

Possible bug in Utils:clampPosition

I'm writing a simple dungeon game based on tiles.
I have a 50x50 tile map.
I'm synchronising camera position to the character on every move this way:

map:slideToPosition(dest_x, dest_y, 160)
hero:slideToPosition(dest_x, dest_y, 160)

And I noticed that when the player reaches 1/4 screen margin, the camera is dropped to the very bottom of the map.
Here's a video of the simulator http://youtu.be/SG1vwE_bHZY and some debug info printed out by this statement in Utils:clampPosition:

print(
    _y,
    _bounds.height,
    _bounds.offset.y,
    display.contentHeight,
    abs(_y) > ( _bounds.height - _bounds.offset.y ) - display.contentHeight
)

When I change

if abs(_y) > (_bounds.height - _bounds.offset.y) - display.contentHeight then
    _y = -((_bounds.height - _bounds.offset.y) - display.contentHeight)
elseif y > _bounds.y then
    _y = _bounds.y
end

to

if (_y > 0) then
    _y = 0
elseif (_y < -_bounds.height + display.contentHeight) then
    _y = -_bounds.height + display.contentHeight
end

Everything becomes ok. Though it doesn't take _bounds.offset.y into account (it is = 0 in my case).

Tutorial examples with latest Lime version

Do any of the tutorials work with the latest version? So far, I've loaded up these without success:

http://lime.outlawgametools.com/tutorials/20-controlling-the-camera/
http://lime.outlawgametools.com/tutorials/13-moving-a-map-via-touch/
http://lime.outlawgametools.com/tutorials/19-using-director-with-lime/
http://lime.outlawgametools.com/tutorials/20-controlling-the-camera/

The first two, I get a problem related to these issues - #1, #2, then the last one, I get this error (version 1.4 of director class):

..uments/Corona Projects/Tutorial 19 DEMO/director.lua:1092: attempt to call method 'insert' (a nil value) stack traceback: [C]: in function 'insert' ...uments/Corona Projects/Tutorial 19 DEMO/director.lua:1092: in function 'changeScene' .../Documents/Corona Projects/Tutorial 19 DEMO/main.lua:31: in function 'main' .../Documents/Corona Projects/Tutorial 19 DEMO/main.lua:44: in main chunk

I'm sure I can figure out if Lime will be useful by reading more code. I'm curious to know if there's an obvious version of lime I should be starting with?

Thanks for any help!
