  Perhaps your next thread should be "how do I use the search feature?".

  Well the thread initially was about an Xp machine that can't run 7, or 8, let alone Vista.

  I am using 7 on my main system for the time being.

  Well its the 8th, and with a bit of experimenting I have a reasonable test station using Linux Elementary OS.

  Im getting 30 fps webgl flag enabled on Chrome.

  About the same, if not a little better than it was on XP.

  The OS is fairly nice as well.

  Gif? Nah, a single paragraph might end up having thousands of frames, and wouldn't really get any animation benefits the file type enjoys.

  The Canvas object in Construct Classic uses the gpu to grab those textures, so basically it can't grab what doesn't exist in the gpu.

  Also ancient topic is ancient, and sadly op is likely in that big devkit in the sky.

  Thanks.

  I keep wondering if the method will take off or not.

  I guess it depends on how tight a grip they keep on its implementation.

  Yeah it works, but it does sound a bit iffy.

  Might get Ashley in here to confirm if its proper usage, or not.

  OK. It can be as complicated, or uncomplicated as you want.

  We're not at the Ikea store tho...

  The simplest method would be to add a system wait, and assume that waiting a second or so would be enough time to revert the button, and then go to the other part.

  On touched object, set object frame to 1, wait 0.5 seconds, set object frame to 0, wait 0.5 seconds, do foo.

  You can make a variable Boolean, and when you touch that object set the variable to true.

  That way you can have a sub event to "on any touch end" that checks if that variable is true.

  Uid doesn't guarantee that a higher number will be an instance of that sprite.

  It could be another sprite, or a text object for that matter.

  IID can get you the most recent instance by using sprite(sprite.count).

  Well I would think we would at least get a " and Bobs your uncle " considering it is in the Uk.

  Forgive me for asking this of the guy with only two posts, but.....

  Who's "we", and why is this in the wrong forum?
