I'm also having troubles with the groups. It seems that the order of grouped events get messed up.
Create a new game, and create a sprite with two animations. one red square and one green square. name them "red" and "green".
Now create these events:
Allways- sprite:set animation to "red"
Allways- sprite:set animation to "green"
and run the app. The sprite will be green.
Now put those events into a group without changing the order. The sprite will be red.
Edit: HAHAHAH! <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" title="Razz" /> Forget it! I forgot to activate the group! LoL! But i have another app where i have this problem (no mistakes this time <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt=":wink:" title="Wink" /> ) so the bug is still there.
