  If you are respawning enemies 48 hrs later, you will need to use WebStorage if you want data to be carried over in between players' closing their browsers. Keep in mind though that WebStorage is inherently tamperable, so people will be able to easily hack your game.

  Yea, it does. It should make my reverse engineering run a bit smoother, thanks.

  Would these need code for every layout to save a position of a character if the variable for it says it's out (up from the menu bar)

  Depending on how advanced your game is going to get this advice may or may not apply:

  Honestly, if all that you are changing is background colors, you should just use different layers for backgrounds and keep it all on one layout. Then just toggle layer visibility to change the background color using the buttons. That way you won't have to track every sprites positions in a global object (like Array or Hash) and repopulate them every layout swap.

  If you MUST have multiple layouts, I would try making your little rabbit sprite global first. If that doesn't work, then you get to use an array/hash object and track all of the positions on screen of every object that you want to exist on multiple layouts and repopulate the screen each time you change layouts.

  I had to use an external flag to do this. You could try using a global variable defaulted to 1, and set it to 0. Then have the event conditioned on if flag == 1.

  Your Phase 4 is subsidiary to phase 3. Pay close attention to event indentation. It is extremely important.

  Use what works. You can make it better as you learn more.

  We have a "dragNdropPiece" and a "piece." These two sprites are identical. You create a dragNdropPiece on "pickup" and destroy it on "dropping" after you have created its copy on the board.

  Eventually, I will make an example capx for you... PM me for more info.

  Are the lines vertical? I have odd vertical line issues with the SpriteFonts too.

  I think you are going to have to manually program in the physics for that perspective.

  Not impossible, but definitely a lot of work.

  Drag physics is probably a good place to start.

  or this drag site.

  I don't think you can.

  Maybe destroy the object on exiting laytout 1 and recreate it later as needed?

  Maybe use <-- and --> arrow keys to rotate?

  Yea, I've only ever used a real button object like twice so far. And never for any production code yet.

  Is this plugin still maintained? Also, this doesn't really tile the sprites, it just stretches them.
