  What about Kickstarting this project? Would the community respond? Maybe a $20-30k kickstart would be a motivation for Scirra to build it or buy the cranberry plugins outright. How much would you pay Scirra to implement this into C2?

  This is a fantastic and amazing plugin. I am so grateful for it. Thank you!

  I have a feature request... Is it possible to create a snapshot of the canvas object (similar to C2 canvas snapshot, but limited only to this object...) Even better is option to snapshot a specific region (or all) of this canvas object?

  I randomly spawn objects in a family onto the layout. When they are spawned they are assigned one of a few specific instance variable values.

  Later, I want to know at any given time how many objects exists with a specific instance variable value for a comparison condition. How can I retrieve this number?

  Any chance you can add Base64 encode and decode?

  Sometimes I have many objects stacked on each other within on layer. How can I hide them just in the editor, so I can more easily click / manipulate the object underneath, without remaking everything into layers? Note: I am not asking about visibility inside the gameplay, just in the editor...

  So if I have a "type" instance variable set for a family, it will inherit the value from the active instance? I tried this and I cant add 'type' to the Family because it already exists in the children...

  I have a condition

  On Touch [Family]

  I want to identify the type/name of the sprite was from that touch event, so I can do something if it was a specific type.

  If the Family Instance Type that was touched was BOMB then do ABC

  If the Family Instance Type that was touched was PRIZE then do XYZ
