Blushot You are going to keep running into issues that seem like roadblocks until you get used to the tools. I highly advise going over the manual (judging by the number of badges under your name I would say you haven't) and also going through many of the tutorials. Also Construct ships with many sample projects. Open them up and check the event sheets for a lot of good info on how things work.
Glad to have you in the community, it has a bit of a learning curve, but is a great set of tools.
