OK, thank you.

How does one zoom a layer? I looked all over the place, couldn't find anything.

Also, (I doubt there is) but is there an easy way to 'pause' a layer or a section of the game? (e.g. if I want a pause screen or an inventory to come up)

Thanks for your helpful replies!

Hmm, 640 x 480 is a bit small for me. Are there any higher resolutions that would be acceptable to gaming websites?

Conversely, is there a way to 'shrink' what is on screen to make more fit into the same window size.

Firstly, what would one recommend as the best window size for a project, if I want it to be able to be used by many, embedded on websites, and be a relatively large size.

Secondly, I read the blog post on the audio formats. Does this mean that, for the foreseeable future, I have no options for audio that is supported by all browser types? If that is the bleak case, what format would I be best off choosing?

It seems the .capx still uses a collision box?

EDIT: I removed all the code that checks for collision. It runs perfectly and at 59fps when there are many squares to check. So it seems OK.

Next step. What happens when I have multiple instances of the object which checks as well?

I have tried both programs and may I just say that Construct 2 is better than game maker in almost every aspect of game design.

(I won't qualify for a testimonial because I am not willing to release my name and location at this point).

A .capx would be nice... they are always very informative!

I think the best way (since so many people would need this) would be for the function to be built into the program and able to be optionally used.

No, the range is relatively small.

However, this UID and looping is part of what is confusing to me about construct. SO what am I to do? A large invisible circle around the object? I am still a bit confused.

Yes, there must be simpler way to pick the closest instance! I caertainly need this and there is quite a lot of instances, too. hmm...

When I mention an object in another object's field (e.g. move towards object), if there are multiple instances of the second object, it does not pick the nearest instance but a seemingly random one.

Why does this happen? Could a feature be implemented to make the nearest instance be chosen (since I am sure that 99% of the time people would want this).

If this is unavoidable, what can I do to make the object choose the nearest instance?

thanks, sqiddster

There is a setting for parralax on every layer. There is also a behaviour called scroll to. This is probably all you need.
