That appears to be what it was. I wanted to make different functionality for each instance so I created separate object types. And in another case, I wanted to easily be able to change the object dynamically in "code" so having separate object types made that easier, but then duplicated the resources which I don't want to do.

Is there a way to have different object types share a sprite sheet so that it's not necessary to duplicate it. I could make a work around using instance variables to change functionality too I suppose.

Maybe there is a better way to do this, but...

When I create multiple instances of the same object and then export it to HTML 5 it creates a separate sprite sheet graphic in the export even though all of those objects use the same sheet/images.

Of course I can create some objects dynamically and avoid this, but it seems to me that they should share the same sprite sheet resource automatically.

NOTE: I created the sprite sheet by loading multiple images into the objects sprite. Maybe that has something to do with it?

When duplicating layouts, I would like the new layout to copy the layer locks as well.

I have a couple of generic layouts (templates) that I copy (duplicate) throughout the project. There are a few layers within the template layout which contain visual design aids (opaque boxes to section off areas of the interface) which are invisible at run-time. I keep those locked so that they don't accidentally move, delete, etc them.

At the moment, if I duplicate the layout then the layers are duplicated but the layer locks are not the same as the originally duplicated layout.

Thanks for reviewing my request.
