  Why does the Spawn or Create Object (at runtime) does not allow to give a new name to the newly copied sprite?

  how can I reference the newly copied sprite?

  on the new version of Chrome, the Tint effect works the first time round, then when you do a RESET it restores the sprite back to normal, but when you do another TINT on the same sprite, it does not work. Same problem on Safari.

  Works GREAT on Firefox and IE9 :)

  yes it works, but it ALWAYS selects the top sprite, no matter on which sprite you click!

  i want to be able to ALSO select the sprite in the middle (of 3 sprites on top of each other), if i click on the middle one!

  I am having problems with the TOUCH event on the ipad on the Safari browser (not iPad app).

  The touch presses are being offsetted. I think the problem is that the ipad is zooming my game to fit the screen.

  Is there some META html command I can add in index.html so that the ipad keeps my game 100% and TOUCHes register on spot?

  Or am I doing something wrong?

  what i did was to use the ELSE command and start checking ALL sprites from top to bottom. that way the first one that hits is always on top.

  however i would have preferred to use Families as it was a more elegant option.

  I like the loading bar loader.

  Is there an option or plugin to show my own picture in the background, whilst the loading bar is filling up?

  thanks found the option.

  works, but the action is always processed on the top most sprite of the family, even if i click on the bottom sprite and don't touch the top one :(

  is there a keyboard shortcut to quickly access the Guess Polygon Shape in the Editor when highlighting the sprite in the object browser?

  i have more than 200+ sprites that i need to edit the shape, so you can imagine the usefulness of a shortcut....

  I like the idea.

  I have set up a family with 4 sprites to test but cannot find the Pick Top Instance Action :(

  i think i need some way so that when the first mouse click event is triggered, C2 stops checking the other mouse events underneat.

  like and if..else condition structure

  no they are 2 totally different sprites.

  in some occasions I can have 3 sprites on top of each other too.

  i have 2 sprites superimposed on each other.

  the sprite on the "bottom" protrudes half way from the "top" sprite

  is there a way that if i mouse click on the top sprite, I only trigger an event on the top sprite and not on the bottom sprite too?

  thanks
