Thanks AllanR , I will try out the UID and IID suggestions you gave.

How do I select the objects by UID ?

I have a set of 50 or so images organised in 10 layouts with 5 animation frames shown as separate images on each layout.

I want to flash, increase the scale and animate the specific sprite that is tapped / clicked by the user.

I have already done it by repeating the same set of events / actions on each event sheet, but thats making the whole project bulky . I wanted to use includes and functions so I can write on first event sheet and repeat that on each of the next event sheets.

but when I did that all of the 5 images shown on the screen start flashing, scaling and animating.

Here is what I have tried.

I set an instance variable "instanceIndex" for each image sprite and gave them numbers 1, through 5.

On the individual event sheets, I save the value of "InstanceIndex" to a global variable "selectedInstance" and then call a function passing it the parameter sprite.InstanceIndex.

However the values that I set in "InstanceIndex" are not getting saved to global variable (i also showed it as the text in a text box). The text box and "SelectedInstance" keep getting set to "0"..

What may I be doing wrong ?

briggybros.. could you post the solution that worked for you ? I am faced with similar issue and keep hitting the 404 msg.

I had imported a bunch of audio files with unicode names but since the next step after construct2 does not support unicode names, I need to replace them with files with ascii names . I have imported the new set and deleted the audio files from the folder, but the list keeps showing up in the sounds folder. Construct2 doesnt allow selecting multiple files and right clicking each file and selecting delete is a very long process(I can do it by spending 20 minutes, but this seems an inordinately slow and inefficent way to delete.

Is there any workaround ?

Update I selected the file whcih was at the top of the 'to be deleted' file and just kept pressing the delete button
