  Id say the coloration on the leaves is fine. I would however remove the white in between them, and replace it with alpha. One thing to think about.... you'd be amazed at what a simple dropshadow can do.

  Well Ik is a bit hard to pin down right away, you should probably make the chain first, then experiment putting the physics behavior on different parts. Thing is it will probably take several chains, and combination to get a realistic example.

  Think of it as weights on a string. The weight would be the physics object, and the string would be the IK.

  Yes you can. There's also a plug to help with the keys.

  You might want to take a look at the IK plugin. Used in combination with physics should work nicely.

  Well for example the on last character written will apply to any event where something was written.

  Tagged animations

  http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/construct/index.php?title=Tagged_Animations

  Its basically a label for the animation telling what kind of animation it is.

  My thought was, what if you could use a tag, and then do away with an object and just use the sprite with a behavior. Course you would have to alter the program itself, but I think it might make more sense to just have one object.

  Also in the cap I uploaded, the event on last char written will cause a loop for the numbers. That's why I was thinking it shouldn't work correctly, but apparently you've already added a self clear.

  Picking may be an issue for some things tho, but a pv would fix that. Not really needed, but a pv for the object might be nice.

  A bug and a thought.

  The condition "on last character" is causing a crash. Obviously it cant be used as in the cap, but like Ashley says "crashes are always bugs".

  http://files.getdropbox.com/u/666516/lcharw.cap

  Also have you thought about using the sprite tag feature?

  Edit + also~ nice work

  Looks promising, altho using a 2.0 shader might be an issue later on.

  You can already load graphic, and sound resources externally, and have access to store in .ini for game data.

  No, but you can select multiple objects, copy them, and then paste all together.

  Wow looks cool. Hadn't thought of using an ik on distormap before.

  Yeah the collapsing is a bit of a bummer, perhaps you could change the number of loops, and number of instances the closer the mouse gets to the base?

  Also you could probably add to the number of rows to get rid of some of the kinks.

  Are these objects global?
