  It's possible with draw effects and using the layer property "Force own texture".

  Here is an example with a slightly different method per layer.

  Here is a utility to remove the hyphens from the family names:

  http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5426011/utility/rename_family2.zip

  To use:

  1. Put your cap in the same folder as the utility cap.

  2. Change FileToLoad to reference your cap in the script.

  3. Run the cap and it should create fixed.cap which should be the same as your cap except the hyphens in the family names will now be underscores.

  Edit:

  The use of the spc_player.dll is identical, just load it instead of nsf_player.dll.

  I'm sure it's possible to integrate gme into audiere, but I'd have to investigate it further.

  The first error is from object names that start with a digit, which is an error in python. You can fix it by making sure all object names start with a letter. The second error is a cascade from the first.

  Also I fixed a small flaw in the example where it would crash if using a larger nsf file. The loaded file was being freed before the player was done using it. I updated the first link.

  In the case of this example, no. You just need to include the py directory with your exported project along with python26.dll and nsf_player.dll otherwise it won't work.

  Edit:

  Glad it was useful.

  Here is an idea:

  If you want to do it at runtime you need to use the ImageManipulator object, then you can grab the sprite's image with the "copy from sprite" action then save the image with the save action.

  It would be a tad time consuming making a plugin for this, the library converts the nsf to a wav stream which in turn needs some sound library to play.

  I found this dll that is simpler to get working with python.

  http://forum.tuts4you.com/topic/27443-nsf-player-dll-for-nes-music-files/

  It has "play track"(or subsong in the example)

  and "stop". It doesn't have pause or volume but perhaps it may still be useful.

  The cap with needed files:

  Besides the array solution found in other topics you could do it this way:

  Save it as a project folder then as a capx (single file) and the file size reduces.

  C2 has the same animation properties as CC.

  hen selecting an animation, the Properties Bar displays settings for the animation. These are the following:

  "Speed" The number of animation frames shown per second. For example, if set to 5, each animation frame lasts for 1/5th of a second. Set to 0 if you do not want the animation to play (e.g. if a tile set is used with a different tile in each frame).

  "Loop" Restart the animation after it finishes.

  "Repeat count" If not looping, the number of times to repeat the animation.

  "Repeat to" The zero based index of the animation frame to repeat back to if looping or repeating.

  "Ping-pong" Play the animation alternately forwards and backwards.

  http://www.scirra.com/manual/48/image-and-animations-editor

  Say you have a ten frame animation of jumping.

  Frames 0-4 are the warm-up part that we want to be played once.

  Frames 5-9 are the part that we want to loop.

  Then set "Loop" to yes and "Repeat to" to 5.

  Is that the effect you are looking for?

  There are a few ways to simplify:

  * Use families.

  * Use less object types.

  * Use the drag drop behavior.

  The width of Sprite and Sprite2 are different, so it can't be shortened.

  In addition to what Davioware said it often helps to draw a diagram out to visualize. Also if you know what you are trying to calculate you can find a formula for it with google most of the time.

  On collision is only triggered once when the alien hits the planet. It does stop the alien but only for an instant because the every tick event gives the alien speed again. A quick fix would be to use "is overlapping" instead of "on collision".

  One possible use of unlerp is to do scrollbar math.

  There are some solutions for bitwise terrain in this topic:
