What's the easiest way to disable all of your collision polygons at the beginning of a layout without having to go through and do each sprite separately? I'm using Spriter objects which have many component sprites.
Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.
Put everything into families and disable them.
Families seems like your best option.
Edit - quickdraw fail!
For my money, the easiest way seems to be setting collisions to disabled by default for any objects you want to spawn collision-less. No events required.
