  Check the origin points on all the frames of the 'Explode' animation. They're all over the place.

  It's not wrapping around. You have a touchcirc that already exists outside the layout so when you touch the screen you create a second one and they both grow.

  You should have a condition:

  'On start of layout -> Destroy touchcirc'

  or give the touchcirc sprite the 'Destroy outside layout' behavior to get rid of that first one when the game starts.

  This thread addresses your problem I think:

  No I wouldn't worry about it.

  Just be sure to not call functions each tick ... or you'll get Javascript errors ;)

  That's a fairly odd thing to say.

  CurX only applies inside a for each loop. Use a variable instead.

  currentPosition = 0

  Set text to enemyNames.At(currentPosition)

  Add 1 to currentPosition

  Well I had a go at creating the 'zoom to position' functionality from scratch. It zooms to the point touched without going outside the bounds of the layout:

  touchZoom2.capx

  That might not be what you want though. Do you want to zoom in so that the touched tile remains under your finger and then be able to drag the tile while zoomed in?

  Touch.X and Touch.Y will be 0 when you're not touching. If you want it to follow the mouse without clicking you need to use Mouse and not Touch.

  It's because the frames of your animations have different collision boxes and different origins. You should use a simple rectangle sprite for platform behavior and pin your animations sprite onto it as mention in this tutorial:

  I had a quick look, you have the tileboard anchored to the top-left of the window which is why it seems not to be scrolling. I'll bookmark this and look into it more later(tomorrow) if you haven't got it sorted.

  I think it's working as intended. I'll try to explain. When you have "Sprite2.number = Sprite.number" it loops through each Sprite2 and each Sprite and compares them.

  In your first example it's comparing them like this:

  Compare Sprite2(number 3) to Sprite(number 1)

  Compare Sprite2(number 2) to Sprite(number 2)

  Compare Sprite2(number 1) to Sprite(number 3)

  You see it's looping through them both in different orders so only Sprite number 2 matches and it's the only one that moves. If you swap the numbers 1 and 3 on Sprite2 then they will all move.

  Probably you want to compare each Sprite2 to every Sprite so you should do something like:

  For each Sprite2

  For each Sprite

  Sprite2.number = Sprite.number

  Change the 'Type' to 'Textarea' under the TextBox properties.
