  • Read this post on how to make a simple iPhone app using ActionScript. NOTE: you probably have Adobe Flash Professional by now since you are an experienced developer in ActionScript, but just in case, here is a place to download the demo program and buy the full version. By the way, click here to find out how to change Construct 2 so that it can run demos off of port 1935. I saw the topic of this post and I wasn't sure if that meant you needed to be able to run programs off of port 1935.

  • You can find a very primitive way of doing this with a bullet movement here. However, this only gives you 4 directional movement and I am sure that it would be easier to just use the 8 directional movement behavior. Go to the manual section on 8 directional movement for more details here.

  • You need to realign your collision polygon on sprite 2. This will allow the object to move less awkwardly and possibly fix your problem. If you are not sure how to do this, please click here for a manual section on how to do so.

  • Download an example of how to create this effect here. I hope that this helped you with your project! By the way, a more in depth explanation of how this works is that when I create a sprite, every time I make a copy of the sprite and paste it into a layout, it is called an instance. The instances are labeled chronologically, so if i imported my coin sprite first, (that would be my 1st instance) and then copied and pasted another one into the layout, that on would be my 2nd instance. Construct 2 has a way of allowing you to pick and choose instances based chronologically and give them stuff to do, like independently choose and angle of motion. Download my .capx example in the link above. By the way, you may use anything in the example that you like in your game. I don't require you to site me. I hope that this helps!

  • Please keep in mind that Scirra is in fact a small company with just two staff members. You may not be able to run your widget like an actual android widget. Construct 2 does not yet have the capability to retrieve data from databases on the phone, nor run on the phone's main screen like a widget. Unfortunately, you will not be able to create your widget as of now, but you can prototype it until the technology comes out! Try looking at this link on how to create a twitter widget: http://www.scirra.com/tutorials/184/how-to-make-a-twitter-widget for ideas.
