  The platform behavior prevents any overlap with "Solid" objects. When the "on collision" event is run the objects are not overlapping so the actions are never run.

  The feature already exists, but it is not available for the free version.

  At least I think that's what "Project Folders" means. Try right clicking in the objects bar and see if a "add subfolder" option is there.

  Glad it was useful. You can reduce you event count to 2 by putting all the objects you want to wrap into a family.

  I'm curious about the changes to the formulas, namely this:

  LayoutWidth-LayoutWidth

  Couldn't you just use 0 since it will evaluate to 0 no matter the value of LayoutWidth.

  Perhaps the warp behavior does something similar to what you tried with events.

  Do it with these two events instead:

  X > LayoutWidth+self.Width/2

  set X to self.X-LayoutWidth-self.Width

  X < -self.Width/2

  set X to self.X+LayoutWidth+self.Width

  Here's one idea:

  http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5426011/examples13/multi_inv.cap

  Basically the bags are in a container with an array, so each bag has an array for it's contents. When the player touches a bag the bag's inventory is displayed. The player's inventory is handled the same as the bags, except there is no array for the player's inventory, just the slots. One could be made later if needed.

  Here is another way that works pretty well:

  The increasing ram usage is caused when using webgl. Internally the plugin still uses canvas2d and with webgl a new texture of the canvas is made every frame causing the memory leak. I need to re-write it properly use webgl in an efficient manner.

  Re-download the example, I made it a bit more generic.

  t will work on spawning objects too, right?

  I don't quite get what you're asking. Event 2 does the creation and positioning of the smaller objects. You can put it anywhere in your events where you want to create/spawn the small boxes on the big box.

  You can try this plugin:

  http://www.scirra.com/forum/plugin-randomplus_topic45261.html

  I allows you to set the seed of random so you can get the same sequence of numbers per seed.

  Ok, add a new event:

  System:compare tickcount=1

  And move event 9 (the for each ordered) to be a sub event of that new event.

  What was happening was destroyed objects still exist until the end of the frame. So there was still an odd number of cards when the for each was run.

  As for being able to match different cards I suspect your condition that checks for a win may be the cause.

  Try changing the expressions to just gFirstCardFrame=gSecondCardFrame

  Add a card:destroy action to start of layout. The off screen card is what is giving the unmatchable cards.

  Make event 8 so that it is not a sub-event of event 5 and that should fix most of it. You can still get two pairs of the same card so just delete the duplicate frames.

  Here's the math to position on the larger box:

  Making the objects follow is as simple as using the pin behavior.
