The 'Light' object is the object which actually draws the shadows. That's the object you need to move to another layer. The 'Shadowcaster' behavior is simply used to mark an object as casting a shadow, like a property or attribute.
In all of Construct, passing a string to a number parameter automatically converts it, so you can pass either "500" or 500, it doesn't matter. As Rich pointed out, LineData does not give the text, LineText does
After we get to Construct 1.0 we'll split releases in to stable/unstable branches - until then, every build is an "unstable" branch, so I don't think we should make any assumptions about how stable it is or isn't
Bloodshed's site was last updated in February 2005. It might be free, but I think it's fast becoming a relic.

Rich: edited your link so it works.
I added the bug to the tracker, so hopefully it'll be fixed soon.
Ah, there's no way of doing this yet - I guess you could let the user choose between the common ones (eg. 1024x768) and the aspect ratio too. The common screen resolutions (like 800x600) are so widely supported I don't think you need to check if they're supported (although it would be good practice if Construct allowed you to).
