  Trying to export my game to windows 8.1

  I exported the game to windows 8.1, tried opening it with both "Visual Studio Express 2013 for Web" and "Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows Desktop". Both gave me an "unsupported error" when I opened the sln file.

  My computer won't run "Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows" because I'm on windows 7... Do I need to be running windows 8 to export windows 8 games?

  Any help or insight?

  I'm keen to fix this problem and start testing!

  Does anyone know of a text to speech plugin for construct 2?

  Sorry, this was just an example! It's actually for a music program...

  Here is a better example:

  replace("A2,A3,A4", ('2', '3', '4'), "A5")

  (Best example I could come up with right now) <img src="smileys/smiley13.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

  Is it possible to search for more than one bit of text to replace in a string.

  For example

  replace("This*and This%", ('*', '%'), " ")

  ... Obviously the above doesn't work :s

  I can't think of any efficient alternatives...

  Maybe

  replace(replace("This*and This%", "*", " ")), "%", " ")

  This works ^^ But just doesn't seem right. Maybe I'm just being anal <img src="smileys/smiley5.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

  Thanks in advanced!

  ... On another note. Can I make it so replies to my post go straight to my email? Can't find this option anywhere :s

  I'm writing a Music game that requires me to preload quite a few files (This is necessary because the game relies on rhythm)

  so something like this...

  Audio - Preload by name - ("pianoA2","pianoA2h","pianoC2") etc

  I suppose the alternative would be to write an array and iterate over each element. I just want to make sure I'm doing things properly <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

  Any other suggestions?

  Thanks in advanced

  Hey guys,

  I'm new to construct after years of playing around with mmf2

  I'm having trouble with a For each loop.

  The idea is that after dragging an object, it returns to it's original position. I have set up a for "For each" loop that stores the objects coordinates at the start of the layout.

  It seems that the loop is repeatedly updating the objects coordinates...

  Isn't a "For each" loop only supposed to run once?

  I'm not stranger to loops, surely I've overlooked something simple!!!

  (The problem is in layout 3, everything else is just stuff I've been exploring :) )

  Thanks in advance!

  Luke
