  How do I pick a specific Instance by UID only? I have a number, I don't have the name of the object.

  And if the UID number is unique, I shouldn't need the name of the object anyway.

  When I create a sub event, I have to select the type of object first. How do I get around this and only find an instance by UID?

  I've passed two variables into an instance object.

  InstanceName: Carrier

  InstanceUID: 2

  How do I combine that into an expression like this?

  Set Position to:

  MyObject.InstanceName(MyObject.InstanceUID).X

  MyObject.InstanceName(MyObject.InstanceUID).Y

  It should parse into something like: Carrier(2).X and Carrier(2).Y

  But it's not taking it. I get a "Not a Behavior" error.

  Let me know if this isn't making sense.

  Thanks,

  Is there anyway to have this work with Construct 2?

  I was just wondering if this may be possible.

  I'm an experienced developer using FMIS and remote shared objects to synchronize data across multiple browsers in my app.

  I'm doing research to see if it's possible to make a game in Construct 2, and use ActionScript for the netcode.

  Let me know if you have any thoughts on whether this "might" be possible.

  Thanks!
