Clear screen between loading scenes

[Rick]

I'm going from scene to scene in my program and I notice while it's loading the other scene the old scene still sits on the screen. How would I black out the old scene on the screen while the new one is loading?

 

I'm trying the below but doesn't seem to work. A pure black color would do.

 

scene:Free()
CameraClearColor(fw.main.camera, Vec4(0, 0, 0, 1))
scene = LoadScene("abstract::"..GetGlobalString("nextlevel"))

There are better ways to do this but you could always move the camera somewhere far and point it at a black box that takes up the whole view.

SetColor(0,0,0,0)

DrawRect()

SetColor(1,1,1,1)

or Fade in,Fade out

A loading screen might work.

Splash Screen Fade In-->Kick old data (level, characters, etc)-->Load / Setup New data (Level, character, etc)-->Fade Out Splash Screen --> Play game
