physics.addbody() does not work inside a loop in corona

I am trying to add multiple rectangles in one hit through a loop and here is my code:

for i=1,7,1 do
   rec = rectangles.createRoundedRect(left, top, 100, 18, 6)
  physics.addBody(rec , "static", { density = 1.0, friction = 0.0, bounce = 0.2 } )
  left = left + 50
  top = top - 35
end

The rectangles are added successfully however they are not treated as bodies (i.e other bodies do not collide with them)

What's wrong with the code?

Solution

  • I solve the issue I was using object:translate() to move objects while I was suppose to use object:setLinearVelocity()
