When ever I make graphics in PS to go into Construct, I just make all layers invisible except the layer I want to import. Then go 'save for web and devices' then save it as PNG. Then I just load that image with a sprite, and it's as it should be.

I might try that idea Arima. The reason they are only a single value at the moment, is cause I'm working with the unique ID of the object, since all the cells are the same object.

Rich, I'm not sure if I should, its got hundreds of events and they're filled with a lot of crap.

This is basically my menu thingo, each cell is a value.

When my variable equals the same as the cell value, the cell is selected (shows as '2' in the picture).

This is what I'm doing for moving down the menu ( in the first column):

-Down is pressed         |     
    -Value >= 1          |    Add 1 to value
    -Value <= 4          |
        -Value = 5       |    Set value to 1 

[/code:2x13z7np]

And a similar thing for moving up, except subtracting 1 from value.

This works fine, however I'm having trouble moving left/right

I've tried something like this (for moving right in the first row of the menu):

[code:2x13z7np]
-Right is pressed      |     
    -Value = 1         |    Add 4 to value
    - OR               |
    -Value = 5         |    
    - OR               |   
    -Value = 9         |
         -Value = 13   |    Set value to 1
[/code:2x13z7np]

However it doesn't always seem to work right. Is there a different/better way to code something like this?

Tigsource is probably the best source of indie news, I've found.

Has anyone noticed when you have a few frames in an animation, then you edit a picture on one of the frames and then close it, another picture editor will open (with an image of your first frame)?

or is it just me?

That's not what I'm saying, I'd like the set key to insert the key at the same time (if the key doesn't exist).

Would it be possible to just have the 'Set key value' (hash table) automatically insert the key if it hasn't been created? This would greatly improve work flow.

Instead of having to do something like this for every time you use the hash table:

Event -> Delete key, insert key.

or having an event that creates the key then an event where the key can be edited.

It would really helpful to just be able to combine the insert/set key.

Has only overlay been changed in the next build? Or has other effects like multiply?
