How do I point out objects within families

On screen I have: Option 1, option 2, option 3, options 4, option 5. (text objects)

When you touch option 1, I want it to have opacity 100 and the others opacity 30.

I also added square sprites on top of each text object, so that the user has more space to touch the option.

Option texts are put in family OptionsTextFamily.

Square touch sprites have been put in family OptionsTouchFamily.

What would be the efficient/elegant way?

The not elegant way is:

On touch TouchSprite1 --> set options1Text opacity to 100

set options2Text opacity too 30

set options3Text opacity too 30

set options4Text opacity too 30

set options5Text opacity too 30

On touch TouchSprite2 --> set options1Text opacity to 30

set options2Text opacity too 100

set options3Text opacity too 30

... and so on.

Don't have time to do a capx now, but I have done a similar thing before.

First set touch sprites and options text as container of each other so they get picked together.

Local var options_uid

On Touch TouchSprite1

-> set OptionsText opacity to 100

-> system set variable options_uid to OptionsText.UID

then

System: Every Tick

/System: Pick all OptionsText

/OptionsText.UID <> options_uid

-> set OptionsText opacity to 30

... Don't use text object on mobiles. Instead use one spritefont and make 5 instances (one for each option)

First off, thanks for the reply.

Do you mean: I select one textobject and press: add container and select a touch sprite. Then go to the next textobject and select the corresponding sprite object?

I will, from now on.

Text objects demand more memory?
