Instead of uploading a rar file of your project, choose "Save as a single file" when saving to get a .capx that can be instantly opened by everyone who has C2. It's basically a .zip of your project, but you don't have to archive it, and we don't have to extract it.

Here is how I would do it with invisible sprites for the islands and angles of the bridge paths.

Commented .capx: EnemyBridgePatrol.capx (r95)

An easy way to get the angle is to use a sprite to draw a line from the player to the mouse position. Then check the angle of that sprite like yuquanzhou007 suggested.

Here is a quick example: MouseAngle.capx

PS: The MouseAngle sprite is supposed to be invisible, but I left it visible to illustrate how it works.

Can you view images from Imgur.com? If not you could just PM me your e-mail and I'll send the .capx.

You should read about AJAX and WebStorage in the manual.

Add a condition 'System -> Compare two values' and input 'Mouse.X > WindowWidth/2'.

Quick example: LeftRightScreen.capx (r95)

I would use instance variables to keep track of where you want the units to go, and booleans to control selection and toggle movement.

Here is a quick example I made, hope it helps: MultipleUnitMovement.capx

I'm not really sure I understand what you're looking to do. How do you want to edit the variables, can you explain in detail? I haven't seen Google Inspector or Firebug.

On the right, in the "Projects" window, scroll down until you get to the "Families" folder. Right click it and select "Add family". Now you just add the objects you want in that family, and you choose the new family object when making the events in the event sheet.

Like zsangerous mentioned, it can often be easier to stick to one layout if your game follows the same sort of setup (like tower defense).

You can control the waves with a global variable to keep track of what level you're on.

Level = 1: Show background, Spawn easy enemies

Level = 2: Different BG, Harder enemies

etc..

It's fairly common to use different layouts for your levels, and use include on your event sheets to have one or more sheets that apply to several levels. Have a look at layouts and include in the manual.

Local variables are only active within their scope, and do not transfer from layout to layout, you'll have to use global variables for that. (no increments)

Read about event variables here.
