Hi all,

I want to asign variables to my objects based on the order in which they are created. I have tried using their z-index and have written the code shown below but it's not working. I have created the text boxes to test it and at the moment the orangeshape always comes up as shape2. I don't know why this is happening.

<img src="https://dl.dropbox.com/u/101200636/code-screenshot.jpg" border="0" />

The "orangeshape" is a member of the "mainshapes" family. I have set a boolean family instance variable of 'shape1' and shape2' to false to begin with. Please can anyone tell me where I am going wrong?

Thank you for reading this and for any help you can give.

Hi chrisbrobs,

Thanks so much for this really good example, it will be most helpful.

Hi Guys,

I am trying to build a crane to pick up objects in a RPG game I'm making. So far I've managed to create most of the elements. I'm happy with the horizontol movement. Unfortunately I'm having some trouble creating a smooth vertical movement for the cable/grab arm, and also having some difficulties

picking up the objects.

I have uploaded my capx file here: dl.dropbox.com/u/101200636/CraneTest.capx

I have read a lot of the physics tutorials but I can't find any of the answers I need. If anyone is able to help or point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Thanks ASHLEY. That's useful to know. I had already come across the screen orientation in PhoneGap when I exported a test version. What I'm really after is a way to lock layouts within the same app to different orientations. The app idea I have involes a selection of different screens. Some will only work in landscape and some in portrait. Do you know if there is a way to do this?

Thanks for your advice.

Hi everyone,

I am designing an app which needs to display/lock some layouts as portrait and some as landscape. Is it possible to do this in construct2. I have been unable to find a way, please can anyone help.

Thanks for your time.
