  Import your sounds. Put the names in an array. Reference the array for the names.

  This is a bit overkill for the job, but shows how to use instance variables to ID your instances and use the UID to pick the one you want to manipulate.

  The problem is when you set the angle to move back, once back, the Bounce off solid property of Bullet causes it to bounce at an angle. You need to add logic to detect when it has reached its starting point (within reason) and then reset the original angle and position.

  Looks like the issue is you reset the speed with On animation "Dash" finished, but if you switch to another animation, then Dash doesn't "finish" - it was preempted. If you set the speed on the other keyboard events, it should work fine.

  You have to be careful not to mix context. "Stop loop" doesn't specify "while", only "for"-type commands, in it's help commands. The array object unfortunately doesn't have a "stop loop" either, so that doesn't help. These two examples do what you need in different ways.

  A CAPX is just a ZIP file. Copy the file and change the extension to ZIP. Try extracting it and see if the project can be opened that way. Maybe you can salvage some parts.

  And the New Year's version:

  (again, change ZIP to CAPX).

  Same here. If I have anything but zero messages, the dropdown shows Inbox (System.Web.UI.WebContriols.Literal) instead of the number of messages.

  Just edit your post, and if you look just above the edit box for the message, there is a row of icons. The first one allows you to insert a URL.

  Here's one way. Add the UIDs to the array and then Pick from a random index into the array.

  PickRandomUIDfromArray.capx

  Edit: Doh! I answered the wrong question. This helps for picking, not creating. Sorry. I don't see any way other than what has already been discussed. Each sprite has to be created explicitly.

  The easiest thing would be to build up what you did in C2 in a graphics editor and make one sprite. Otherwise, you are stuck doing a bunch of math to move the group around relative to each other and the scene.

  If you are going to continue with this grouping, you have to move all LIGHT objects relative to their initial position.

  Try: Set X to self.X-25 and Set Y to self.Y-20

  Ah, I forgot I tweeked a few things along the way. For your canon, set the initial animation speed to 0, otherwise as soon as it starts, it plays the animation once, and you get a ball spilling out at the beginning. Another trick is to call destroy on the ball in the On start of layout, to get rid of the one used to layout your objects.
