In transitionLevel, add the following before sceneWindow2D.endLevel():

hudWindow.endLevel();

In loadLevel, add the following after sceneWindow2D.loadLevel():

hudWindow.loadLevel("path to your level");

Here's how I modify your script and it works on my iPad2 but on my iPod4G after a few time that I load levels my device crash, due to memory management problems I suppose. Can you give me some advices?
Thank you Mich

$levelLoading = false;

function setLevel(%level, %gui){
	echo("Setting level to " @ %level);
	
	$currentLevelName = %level;
	$currentGuiName = %gui;
	
    previewWindow.setImageMap(%level @ "ImageMap");
}

function startLevel(){
	if(!$levelLoading){
		$levelLoading = true;
		schedule(100, 0, transitionLevel);
	}
	echo("Called start level");
}

function transitionlevel(){
	hudWindow.endLevel();

	sceneWindow2D.endLevel();
	moveMap.pop();
   
	schedule(100, 0, loadLevel);
}

function loadLevel(){
	// Load the .t2d file for this game
	sceneWindow2D.loadLevel("data/levels/" @ $currentLevelName @ ".t2d");
	
	hudWindow.loadLevel("data/levels/" @ $currentGuiName @ ".t2d"); 
   
	$levelLoading = false;
}

I think you're over-complicating things a little. This is how I do it in my game with 2 scenewindows:

hudWindow2d.schedule(490, endLevel);
hudWindow2d.schedule(491, loadLevel, expandFilename ("data/levels/HUD_levelname.t2d"));
sceneWindow2D.schedule(500, endLevel);
sceneWindow2D.schedule(501, loadLevel, expandFileName ("data/levels/game_levelname.t2d"));

This is what I call in my game-over function if I want to load up another game level. If I want to go back to the menu, I just end the hudWindow2d level and don't load anything for it as my menu just uses one scenewindow.
