  Also this page is useful https://www.scirra.com/manual/78/expressions

  [quote:2ngkf30h]Instead of only making a go to frame action that uses a drop down list what about a extra one using a text box say for example I want to input go to frame: stage +1

  So I can have it go from frame stage 1 to frame stage 2 while being in the level map? Seems handy and helpful right guys...

  Yes! Well there is also go to next/previous layout. You can also for example have waypoint object that has Instance variable go to and you could just set something like when collision with waypoint go to layout variable "go to". Personally I don't like those drop down menus. You can usually make a lot neater events using other methods when possible.

  With mouse I got it to work like this.

  mouse.Y-(LayoutWidth/2)+(layoutwidth/2+mouse.X)/2

  mouse.Y+(LayoutWidth/2)-(layoutwidth/2+mouse.X/2

  [quote:2h5pr9ac]The math is simple:

  IsoX = x-y

  IsoY = 320+(x+y)/2

  Heh that is much simpler than what I have been using. What would you use from iso to top view. Like mouse click for example.

  Do you really need to load 300+ frames at once? If you have images that large it would't be so good idea.

  I know it is a bit of a hack but since C2 won't allow creating new frames at runtime that is the method I would use for now.

  Based on your video you probably don't need quite as complicated system. I made that system mostly for keeping track of level textures and such where they are loaded externally and there is a lot of same images.

  I would make some small empty animation frames and load the pictures to different frames.

  Here is similar system I made using array to keep track of images.
