  This isn't pretty, but here's a variation with spiral. You just need to juggle the numbers to change the rate(s).

  SpiralTest.capx

  <img src="smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> It's your debug code! In "New Location" you are calling this for DebugText2:

  Location.UID & " " & Location.LocationState & " " & Function.Call("MapGen") & newline

  There are no parameters on this call to MapGen.

  'mapgen' always needs a parameter, presumably. It would be easier if we could see the code.

  You aren't setting your array sizes. The default is X=10, Y=1, Z=1. Change Y to 10, and it works.

  You can use the (new-ish) Replace object mechanism to speed this up.

  Your instincts are correct. The first example works, the second doesn't, for exactly the reasons you've given.

  This should actually be it's own new topic on the How Do I forum, but to answer your question, do a Sprite Destroy in On start of layout. Your default sprite on the layout will be triggering this. If this doesn't help, start your own topic for more help.

  Your collision boxes are bad. Go have a look at EVERY single one, and you'll see some are just lines, not boxes. You can use Right-click, and either Apply to whole animation or Apply to all animations to correct.

  I've found this is browser related. Here's a small experiment.

  OnEndLooping.capx

  IE has a subtle delay (less noticeable in this example, but if you switch to looping the same track, you can here it).

  Chrome has no delay. Firefox has a terribly noticeable delay.

  Also maybe double check that there is no small delay at the end of your intro music file. There was a thread about a small pause being added by the C2 converter, under certain circumstances.

  From the manual:

  Angles start with 0 degrees facing right and increment clockwise.

  Your animations go the opposite way.

  Your animations are off, but this adjusts the numbers.

  The On touched is picking all of the touched instances. You then need an extra step to pick one of those. Try Pick nth instance. IE: Pick sprite instance Sprite.PickedCount-1
