  Re: prototype. You can also make an extra Layout and place your dynamic objects on it, instead of the playable Layout.

  Re: positioning. LIONHART is right. We'd need a bit more info to help. Posting a CAPX of what you have so far may help. You can use LiteTween to move to a specific location. You can use arrays, or just math if the intervals are a fixed distance. All depends.

  You can use a blank sub-event. At this point, if you carefully select the QueryMessage="" condition, and not the whole event, you can press delete, and you'll have a blank sub-event.

  This is expected behaviour. Putting '&' in between two integers is not the same as between two strings. int & int will evaluate to: 'is int not zero' AND 'is int not zero', which in your case is true, so the result is True, which for an int is 1.

  The point is, you should use str(loopindex("x")) & str(loopindex("y")) to convert the integers to strings before using the '&' which now means: joint these two strings together.

  Your fix does the same thing, but the above is clearer, and explicit.

  Set the Acceleration to a negative value. You'll need to play with the numbers.

  You need to set the size of the array. The default is (10,1,1). Select the array and look at the properties tab on the left. You can also set the size in an action: Set size.

  Let me know if you want to try a debug version, or added logging, etc. I fully appreciate the dilemma of not being able to reproduce a bug. It definitely seems to be in the grid-drawing code.

  Yes - still an issue. I've just tried all three conditions, and all three are still valid.

  Right-clicking on any sub-event will show 'Add local variable', instead of 'Add global variable'.

  By the time I finished the MIDI plugin, I was so fed up with MIDI that I moved on to other things <img src="smileys/smiley29.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> MIDI is still a hassle to use. Despite the initial furor, I haven't heard of anyone else actually using it.

  This is expected behaviour. 'Numbers' are generally floats. Either use round(angle) or check if the difference is within some tolerance, abs(270-angle) < 0.01, for example.

  You wouldn't disable them, you'd use UID instead, for example. Often to link things, you store the UID of the other object so that you can always pick, regardless of which object is picked first. If you are happy with a separate ID, then leave it alone.
