I have a similar question, passing session variables upon start up, I will tell you if I get an answer

update: I ended up passing them in the URL and using Browser.QueryParam()

Essential plugin for anyone who wants to use Ajax.

One small issue, for some reason, it was generating an error for me, adding a closing </i> to edittime.js line 160 fixed it.

eg

<b>Merge <i>Table(s) AsJSON</b>

changed too

<b>Merge <i>Table(s) AsJSON</i></b>

one solution, pass the whole json as a query pair, eg:

"json="&jsonDataString

then decode on in the PHP at the other end with:

$jsonIn=(isset($_POST['json'])) ? $_POST['json'] : "";

$jsonArray=json_decode($jsonIn,true);

and access using array notation.

I can get "ajax post to url" to send data in the query string format, eg "foo=1&bar=2", but simple tests using a json string as data {"test":123} fail, is it possible to use json data as a ajax post payload, since have a more complex string in json format I want to send (example below):

{"Room":"Lobby","Data":[{"t":7.485703,"p":"A","e":"chat","a":"Joined the chat room as host"},{"t":11.571944,"p":"B","e":"chat","a":"joined"},{"t":18.800892,"p":"A","e":"chat","a":"hello"},{"t":25.592219,"p":"B","e":"chat","a":"peer hello"},{"t":30.018804,"p":"A","e":"chat","a":"chat text"},{"t":30.018804,"p":"A","e":"request-page","a":"page"},{"t":30.018804,"p":"A","e":"team-success","a":"team"},{"t":30.018804,"p":"A","e":"review","a":"review"},{"t":30.018804,"p":"A","e":"pass-resource","a":"param A","b":"param B"},{"t":30.018804,"p":"A","e":"select-choice","a":"param A","b":"param B"},{"t":30.018804,"p":"A","e":"move-resource","a":"param A","b":"param B","c":"param C"},{"t":30.018804,"p":"A","e":"enter-value","a":"param A","b":"param B","c":"param C"},{"t":30.018804,"p":"A","e":"solution-found","a":"param A","b":"param B","c":"param C"},{"t":30.018804,"p":"A","e":"rule-confirm","a":"param A","b":"param B","c":"param C"},{"t":30.018804,"p":"A","e":"output-change","a":"param A","b":"param B","c":"param C"},{"t":30.018804,"p":"A","e":"retry"},{"t":30.018804,"p":"A","e":"finish"},{"t":30.018804,"p":"both","e":"start"},{"t":30.018804,"p":"k2","e":"lost"}]}

Hi

I have a textbox attached to a global layer, how do I keep its content, and focus when layouts changes?

I realize I could store the textbox content in a global variable and re-populate it with each new layout, but I wondered if there was a better way to do this, where the textbox content is preserved, and can be regarded as truly global.

Attached is a small example of the issue

hmmm, global textboxes lose their content and focus, when layouts are changed, is there a way to prevent this?

Ohhh, global layer, that sounds ideal, I will try it, thank you.

I already have the events on their own sheet.

I have multiple layouts, which the player progresses though, but I want to keep a chat box common throughout them.

I have common functions to control the chat, that are included in each layout, but the box itself seems limited in scope to a specific layout, can I make it visible to all ?

Apologies, I uploaded the wrong file, doh, but looking at your capx I think I understand the problem, because I was limiting the selection to the item being dragged, it is a SOL list of one, and hence cannot collide.

Thank you for the enlightenment.

How do I detect a collision / overlap between instances of the same object without resorting to families?

instance on collision with instance, and instance is overlapping instance do not seem to trigger.

attached capx demonstrates.

I am against using families, because if I need to put each instance in its own family and test for it, I may as well use separate objects.

Thank you so much GenkiGenga, it certainly works,

I agree I don't quite understand why the problem occurs for some items (3rd and 4th instances of my sprite) and not others, (the paddle sprite). It's interesting that removing the multiplayer association for the paddle in event 11 does not prevent it working in game.

Thanks again

I am encountering this now, when using .wavs
