Pin a new object

I there, I have a sprite that I would like to act as a container of other objects, just for visual purposes. I'd like to create a new instance of a sprite and position it randomly in the container, x y and angle. Then pin it.

Is this possible? I added a Pin behaviour to one of the objects and attempted to pin it where it was but every object of that type pinned, rather than just one.

Yes that is possible.

The reason why every object is pinned is because, if you do not pick an object before you pin it, it will pin every object of that type. (there is a lot of information about picking in the [How do I]Frequently asked questions section (the top link in the how do i forum) )

So you need to pick the object before using the pin action on that object.

I have tried to create a small .capx to explain

If that does not clear it up for you please do not hesitate to ask further questions.

thanks that's much appreciated
