Hey - I was trying this tutorial and I ran into the following problems.

1) About halfway through the tutorial, when setting the camera flags, you mention "Backcam" and "Frontcam" as a value of Camera - but the private variables for Camera has ForwardCamPoint. You switch Front and Forward cam once again as the tutorial continues. Are they seperate elements? I might have missed something.

2) Which i might have been able to figure out what you meant, but i couldn't get your .cap to run.

I get the error messege reading: " (Error with loading: expecting class (CLayout), but recieved () )"

3) Random Question: Is there a reason why "Camera" is in red? Isn't it just an empty sprite that's width 1, just like Forward Camera and Back Camera?

I had another question but i completely forget it! I'm not a true beginner but I'm in that ball park. Thanks for your help1

i've been trying to work around the sound issue but still cant figure it out.

basically i'm trying to stop the stage select song and start another song on a new layer.

are there certain types of music files that work better than others?

cool, thanks!

lets try it again then:

It looks like the layers work when everything is run!

I was wondering if someone can help me get the 2nd mp3 to stop playing (the stage select) when a stage is selected.

thanks for all the help

do you know any other free file host maybe? I'd gladly use something more reliable!

I'm also trying to convert the mid file to an mp3, as i was having difficulty pausing the sound.

This link doesnt work?

I just tried it again. And as always, thanks for your help

Thanks! It worked...

but...

2 problems emerged.

1) It works in "debug all" mode, but crashes when I try to run the layouts.

2) I cant seem to stop Select.mid from playing.

I appreciate the help though!

I looked and it looks like the keyboard/mouse is inserted, but still cant seem to make a event condition for an object to be clicked. My click creating an object and hoping the two would collide was just a workaround

Alright, I'll try to upload the .cap file but I'm not sure exactly how to do that! It doesn't look like I can add attachments. I uploaded it to Mediafire and you can access it at this link:

To learn more about construct, I'm making a fake Mega Man game, using sprites and screens. Please let me know your advice!

Alright, so I'm new, and this might be an easy problem.

I'm making a stage select. I have a background image with the stages, and have created unique sprites that are basically white boxes on top of them, with the opacity lowered to 0 so that they're not seen.

I have the mouse set to always show, and on each click, create a small object (again a small white box with 0 opacity, because i couldn't figure out how to make an object react when it was clicked.)

In the event editor, i entered On Collision between the two objects, system: go to Layout 2 with transition "None" lasting 0 MS.

But when i test it out, the layouts dont change. I moved the opacity around, even made the objects solid, but the layout stays the same.

Any ideas?

i'll try these out today. Thanks!

And also, if there was some sort of sheet where you could alter the order of your layouts.

As for my first question, if I clone a layout, the event sheet will not copy.

Is there something like a global event list? Does that make sense?

I was wondering how to copy events from one layout to another.
