Spawing 2 object, setting size works only the second object

Hi,

I essentially wrote the following code, which spawns an object type twice, each time setting a new width. Oddly, only the second time the new width is set. The first spawn retains the width of the object type which was used to spawn the object.

EDIT: here is the result: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/102806407/cup.PNG

EDIT: I now spawn three objects, and set a different width for each, but only the last one gets a new width set.

EDIT: Using create object, instead of spawn makes it work:

I wonder why this is?

I'd like to generate "water bars" one ontop of another, to simulate the filling of a cup with water. Since the cup size changes as water is filled each 'spawned" water "bar" needs a new width.

any comments would be much appreciated,

when creating new objects any setting is done only on the last created object, since you don't always want it to effect all of them, you might want to choose different frames or sizes.

so you'll need to put you're setting after each creation.

if you're settings are the same you can do a repeat or a for each loop.

get use to working with loops, like this:

On start of layout

Repeat 3 times

create waterbar on

x 560

y 520+(loopindex*20)

waterbar set size

width 300-(loopindex*100)

height 5
