I'm having animation difficulties relating to how to get them to play. It's a platformer, so when I press the right arrow key, for example, my "walking" animation should play. However, with simple if walking, play animation events, he actually doesn't walk at all.

If someone has an animation example (say, part of a game .cap) I'd be happy to learn from it. Thanks!

I'm using Windows Vista Ultimate and Construct shows with alt+tab

Thanks to linkman2004 for the code (it works, trying to figure out how it works so I can use it for other purposes =) ) and deadeye for the help on where to find it, and of course to Ashley for the program in the first place. Glad it got added to the FAQ. Thanks all!

Thanks for the reply. However, is +Is global variable 'playmusic' equal to 1 a sub-event of Start of Layout? If it is, I can't find it for some reason. I looked under system and could not find a variable thingymagigy. Could you perhaps quickly make a .cap?

Thanks. And yes, I am using the XAudio2 object, since I know of no other =)

Well, I have another problem now. The music starts at the menu, and at the menu there are several options. The menu layout has this in it's event sheet-

Start of Layout-
     XAudio2- Play music "asdf.mp3"
     XAudio2- Loop music
[/code:1xsj263p]

So when I enter a sub-item of the menu, I go to another layout. In that layout, there is a back button- so basically, when I return to the menu, the code runs through again, and thus, the music starts playing from the top. Can I make this not happen, perhaps by putting the play music code elsewhere? Or prevent it from running through twice?

I have a couple layouts I want to use, but I want to use the same music throughout, without restarting it. So I was wondering if it was possible to continue the music playing through multiple layouts without stopping?

It means we haven't got around to fully themeing the IDE so that they'll look their best yet.

Oh, okay. It still looks pretty good regardless =)

If you click on the "Construct" icon or "File" when you are in the program, you get a drop down list with a bottom option being Preferences. And in that, you can change your Interface Theme.

However, all the three Office 2007 themes have an unfinished label beside them, and since I like the Office 2007 themes a lot, I was wondering what I would be losing if I used it opposed to the finish ones?

Thanks in advanced.

Thanks for the new lesson, awesome!

Awesome as always. Just a quick question- do I have to uninstall an older version before installing a newer one?

Application Properties, 'Controls' category.

Thanks! =) This is a great program.

I remember finding it somewhere, but I don't know now how to change the controls for the platformer behaviour. For example, jump is set to Shift usually, but I want to put it space bar, so, I was wondering how you would go about doing it?
