  • Hello;

    I have a window looking out on the stars that should just scroll by slowly forever. It is a tiled background.

    Whats the best way to do this?

  • If I have a function with static variables in the group are they effected?

    And, if I reset an area, where some sprites have become children of sprites not in that area, what happens? Are they no longer children? Same with parent hierarchy forming outside the area?

  • You can create another sprite that centers on where you want to scroll. Just have that sprite change only the x axis value with the player.

  • I did notice you can't really do much in the layout editor though, the side bars are missing or are they accessed elsewhere? It's kinda crucial to be able to check instance variables and object properties when programming.

    You have to swipe in from the side a few times

  • I have the same problem, so I make myself use the e key too.

  • I do when I am on the train or commuting. Mostly just double checking stuff. It is hard to work without a keyboard.

  • Any project I spend even 100 hours on is a tangled mess of code and variable names and doesn't need any more obfuscation to be useless to anyone else. Unfortunately.

  • I would try opening them on another pc for a start. At least you will then know the problem is your new pc.

  • If you are saying that clicks on the top layer are triggering click objects in the lower layer there is no way at present to stop the click from dropping into the next layer. In the click on object you can say, if the object is on the lower layer don't respond. Not sure that is much help.

  • Thankyou dop2000, you are very helpful.

  • Hello;

    How do I know if a text string will fit completely in a text box--including the font,size, wordwrap etc settings? Is there a way to see if the last period in the string is actually showing?

    thanks for your time.

    yours
