  Python is case sensitive so it would be "Tkinter" not "tkinter". Unless it's giving you that error by just running my example... Let me know if that's the case.

  To get the length of an array do this:

  len( <array>)

  for example

  len({"directory1","directory2","directory3"})

  will be 3

  It is an issue with Nvidia GTX graphics cards when using non power of two images. A solution is two use power of two images.

  These are power of two numbers:

  2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512,... etc

  some examples of power of two sizes:

  2x128, 64x32, 512x8,...

  I cannot add more than six files!

  If more than six files are added att once, none will be added!

  I thought I recalled you saying that before, or maybe it was somewhere else. Anyways I get the same issue. From what I've read about the winapi open file dialog, which is what the commonDialog object most likely uses, the dialog will fail if the buffer it is using is not big enough to store all the file names.

  Here is a solution using python:

  > To build the runtime with python scripting you need to uncomment "#define PYTHON" in stdafx.h and rename the built exe's to DX9_s, DX9_ps and DX9_pds.

  I won't be building the runtime anytime soon, but I am curious, what do you mean? does this mean when a cap has python enabled, it loads that alternate build/exe? or do you mean something else entirely?

  Different exe's are used when python is enabled.

  I suspect it's an issue with the Audiere library itself. It uses directsound as a backend so maybe the issue is with newer versions of windows.

  To build the runtime you'll need:

  DirectX August 2008 SDK

  To build the IDE you'll need:

  DirectX August 2008 SDK

  Profuis 2.84

  The free version of profuis won't work since doesn't have all the features that the professional version has.

  The runtime solution has a lot more choices than just release and debug, here are basic three that are used:

  DX9 this is the runtime used when exporting to exe.

  DX9_p this one is used when previewing.

  DX9_pd   this is used when previewing with construct's debugger.

  To build the runtime with python scripting you need to uncomment "#define PYTHON" in stdafx.h and rename the built exe's to DX9_s, DX9_ps and DX9_pds.

  You'll have to use python to achieve that. Here is a topic with an example:

  It would be nice if there were a plugin were you can shape the window of your app/game. <font color="green">Like the window's shape must be a circle</font>

  You can make the window round with python:

  http://www.scirra.com/forum/transparent-background_topic40994.html

  You can also make the window an arbitrary shape:

  Use a for loop if you want to get loopindex, repeat does not give you loopindex.

  The reason it doesn't work is because Python is not run continuously, it's only run for the duration of the script and then control is given back to construct. You need to add a python script to be run every frame. It can be something as simple as "#".

  Change the "is overlapping" conditions in events 57, 58 ang 59 to "is overlapping at offset (0,0)" and it will stop crashing. This solution was found by trial and error as your events logically have nothing wrong with them.

  Also your curved slope object probably needs to be a sprite, because tiledbackground objects don't have perpixel collisions.

  You need to rename the 3dbox object so it's name does not start with a number.
