  • Howdy-- can i get a YouTube video < or any video content in any format > to play in a C-2 project < i don't see a lot about it on the forum > ?? Like, say i have a simple slider puzzle, or a trivia challenge && want to have the video clip play on completion ??

    Thanks && kind regards, mark-p.

  • $15.00 is a good "do it yourself" price.

  • Hey-- glad to take a look at the requirements < looking costs nothing > &&

    kind regards, mark-p.

  • Hey-- i got a kind of a "Hill-Billy Work-Around" to do what i needed to do without the array object. It's kind of a "Array-That's-Not-An-Array" thanks to the new "Set Text" feature in the new build. Have submitted an example demo to The Arcade && am awaiting approval from the Boss Men. Wish i could do it "The Right Way" && will say more when that arcade demo is O.K.'ed &&

    kind regards, mark-p.

  • Hey-- i'm in if it is still going on. Just signed up && am downloading pdf's now. Thanks && kind regards, mark-p.

  • Hey-- i had an earlier post about setting up a text field that displays on a button click. I have a CAPX file but am still unsure how to post it. I have a demo file set-up now at the following link to show:

    -- "http://redflagmobile.com/RedFlagMobile-Projects.html"

    and is the first link folder on the left side.

    The actual link to that server is:

    -- "http://mpdemos-1.scienceontheweb.net/"

    but FaceBook blocks this URL < says it looks "spammy" to them > so i don't often use it, but it is a good, regular link with nothing wrong and the demo is there.

    O.K.-- what i have is ten instances of the same text object && each has a different value typed into the text box: "001" through "010" && each one has an instance variable "Variable1" that is a number 1 through 10 respectively && i have an Array object < 1d > that has a width of 10 and has a number 1 through 10 as the value starting at index 0.

    When i click the buttons-- it displays a random instance of the text-- but i need to set the array up so's that it will not re-pick one that has already been displayed in a text box. Usually the Text objects are off-camera, but i put them on-stage in this little demo to be able to see.

    Obviously, i am totally clueless about the array set-up. I am reading through the tutorial "arrays for beginners" as i am posting this-- and would be very grateful if the folks on the forum could help me set this up so's it works the right way.

    kind regards, mark-p

  • Hey-- thanks buddy && i will look into this right now.

  • More than once i have been asked to post a CAPX file, and i have one-- but don't know how to post it, i am ashamed to say. I am not getting much action off of the "insert hyperlink" button etc. && wonder how ya'll would post one if it were you < like, Um-- if you were explaining it to a moron or something, as it were then Old Chaps... > ?? Can't seem to get a pic to post either.

  • Hey-- i posted a more current description of my help request below. Thanks && kind regards, mark-p.

  • Thanks.

  • Hey-- i am having a REAL good experience w/ Construct2 !!! One thing i want to ask about-- i have had a layout w/ a bunch of 96x32 blocks on a 4000 x 4000 background-- lots of them. I have some 0 degrees and some 90 degrees and am using "Snap to grid". At the upper left i had one that was 0 degrees overlap 2 that were 90 degrees ( not on purpose-- i was just moving stuff around and they were sitting there briefly overlapping ) && the three of them somehow seemed to "weld" themselves together, && became unselectable, undeletable, unmovable-- they just froze up. I tried turning off snapping, resized them to 32 x 32, and selecting them && a coupl'a other things-- no dice. Ended up deleting that layout and starting again. I am not-- i hope-- the only one this has ever happened to ?? Is there anything to do except "don't do that" ??

    kind regards, mark-p.

  • Hey-- nevermind, I got it to work !!! ( had the quotation marks in the compare instance variables boxes set up backwards ). && am SO glad I didn't have to let tater-head boy there help me !!!

  • Hey-- Man, && means "BUZZ-OFF and go FLAME somebody else".

  • Hey-- i have only been working w/ construct2 free edition for a coupl'a days && i have been working through this tutorial:

    "/tutorials/253/how-to-make-a-platform-game" && am really impressed w/ everything so far-- but on page 7, the part about making the snail enemy move back and forth between the "edgemarkers"-- i got everything, as far as i can tell set up "exactly" like the tutorial, but when it loads that enemy won't move. I got it to move right only, and got it to vanish when it collides with the edge marker-- but no dice for changing from "right" to "left" w/ the "System >> Else" event statement from the tutorial. Would anyone be willing to help me debug what i am doing wrong here ?? Sorry if this gets asked all the time && would be grateful for any reply at all. Would post a current version of the project here w/ bug in it if that would help && someone would tell me how &&

    kind regards, mark-p.

    P.S.-- Hey, found out how to edit posts-- have the demo posted without the bug to my server && can post w/ the bug if that helps ( though i can't see how it would as i can't show the event editor or anything ). Anywho-- thanks.
