Well, there's three ways you can do this (at least).

Firstly, create them programmatically, rather than placing them on the layout with drag and drop from the C2 editor, call System.CreateObject in a for loop, then you can use loopIndex to store them in a 2D array.

Secondly, you could give each an instance variable which is their index in the array (you could use the numbers in the text if these are containers with a sprite and text object in them) and use foreach to copy those values to an array

Thirdly, if you know they are going to be top left to bottom right ordered, you can use for each (ordered) with an expression something like button.X + button.Y * 10000 which will order them for you in that order, as long as your layout is less than 10000 high

This is probably a very dumb question, but I've got hundreds of unread posts. Is there a way of marking all posts as read ?

Depends on how many changes of text you want. If it is only two or three you could do them as seperate animations, but if you what general text then pin a text object to it.

Problem Description

C2 appears to detect that an object is part of a container and limits any events on that object to objects in that container, but it doesn't pick it up if the object the event on is part of a family.

I was writing a simple control that has a number, a + above it and a - below it. The idea is that the number is adjusted using the +/- buttons. I created a family Adjuster with an instance variable 'adjustAmount', which has two objects in it, AdjustUp and AdjustDown with the adjustAmount set to 1 and -1 respectively.

The text object with the number is a container containing an adjustUp and an adjustDown instance.

The original version (Layout 2) uses a single event to detect a touch on a member of the Adjuster family. The action is to add the adjustAmount in the Adjuster subclass to the boxValue in the Value object, and update the display.

However, the "Value" is not limited to the one in the Container with the Adjuster object but is the whole collection of such objects , so clicking on an Adjuster causes all values to change.

Layout 1 is identical save that there are two events, touch on AdjustUp and touch on AdjustDown , this works as intended.

Attach a Capx

.... how ? Can't see any upload button <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_sad.gif" alt=":(" title="Sad">

I've uploaded it to http://studio2.org.uk/ContainerBug.capx

Description of Capx

Layout 1 and 2 are identical apart from the event detection on the +/- text items. The idea is that the +/- should only adjust their own value.

Steps to Reproduce Bug
Observed Result

Layout 2, both numbers are changed by any adjuster button (a +/-)

Expected Result

The numbers and +/- should operate independently.

Affected Browsers

Should not be a browser specific issue, relates to compilation of events.
