  One possibility is to check the layer and the objects layer value. Click where the sprites overlap to see that it only moves the correct one.

  One trick you could try is to not play the sound immediately, but set a variable to indicate the the sound should be played, then make one of your last events a check for this flag. You could have one for each type of sound, or just one in total. You'd need an extra variable to hold the type/name of the sound you want played in the 'just-one' case.

  Those are Triggers, and do not process in sequence, only when they occur. Double check the manual on triggers. https://www.scirra.com/manual/75/how-events-work

  You just need to remember that C2 is a looping script, similar to being a giant while-loop already. You can use the Timer behaviour to trigger an event when the timer expires, and variables and/or Groups to turn sections of code on or off. Just think how you would do this without the while-loops, as that is guaranteed to not work in C2.

  The Browser object gives you all that.

  So if I wanted the max opacity to be 90 in stead of would I just say..... on start set square to 90% opacity, then instead of dividing 100 I should divide 90?

  Simple answer, yes. I've added a clamp to ensure it won't go over the maximum.

  Similar to Whiteclaw's suggestion.

  Sorry about that. I never thought about checking where 4.5 could be installed. Give this one a try - only needs 4.0. Let me know how it goes.

  You can't do that. You'll have to decode your operator string and call the appropriate math operator explicitly.

  Comment: you don't need to duplicate your code in every eventsheet. Put common code in a separate eventsheet and Include it in the per-layout eventsheet.

  That's what the CSV plugin does:

  The Array is global by default, so the data persists across Layouts. You can make a JSON object and load it, but it's not pretty. You can look at the CSV plugin also.
