Easy editing on layers?

Hi Guys.

Is there a way to aply a change to all layouts. Lets say i have a sprite on all layers. And if i change the sprite position on layer 1 - can it also be automaticly aplied to the other layouts?

I know about "global" but many of my items are text objects with variables. And i dont want theese variables to continue on the next layers.

So.. any ideas how to make my work a bit easier?

You might want to create a new event sheet you could call 'initialization' and put a

System: on start of Layout
  -> Sprite: set position to (whatyouwantX,whatyouwantY)
  -> any other thing you want to do on start of layout for each layout

Thanks Yann.

i'll try that.

i have to create the sprites, objects, texts first i guess?

System create ?

or am i wrong? :D

Creating many objects on "Start of layer" will that slow things down?

Shouldn't make a significant drop in speed.

There is a little trick i allways use. I have a layer with a loading sprite on, Then i use the system.compare 2 values. Im comparing the FPS, If its over 20 - 25 then start the game.

That way there will be no lag at the beginning that the user would see.

Damn thats smart smitchell!

Is there an fps plugin? or did i miss it?

Thanks for the tip. Thats clever :D

Could you post an example CAPX for stupids like me?

smitchell - but im wondering - if they never get to that fps, they cant play the game right? or am i missing something :D?

Heh good thinking, but if you just create a bunch of sprites on start of layout, first I don't think the fps will drop that much, and second it will just drop like a few miliseconds on start and will be fine afterward.
