Good start!

For the facing issue:

Look forward to seeing how this one shapes up!

Actually, the problem is with my understanding of Object(x) and not your code. I was under the impression Object(x) respected the picking process, but it doesn't. So, Ball(0).Health < Ball(1).Health was comparing the balls with IID's of 0 and 1. What needs to happen to make it work right is to store the picked ball's health in a local variable then test that like so:

I probably could make it a little more efficient but it's 2am where I'm at and the brain's fried. :)

Pick nth instance is exactly what you want. You'd use it like this:

Yup. We're using the iframe plugin By webvitaly on our site, and it works great.

I would use a global variable, like this:

Beyond the scope of the forums here, really.

I'd suggest if you're using php 5.2 or above to use Json Encode and if you aren't, then do a google search for PHP Json encode function. There are plenty out there you can cut and paste that will properly convert a php array into json.

You can slightly alter their angle (aka spray) by setting each one's angle to Sprite.angle(random(Sprite.angle-1,Sprite.angle+1))

Are all your sharks moving the exact same direction? If so, won't matter how many you spawn since they'll be directly on top of each other and look like one.

I looked at the rest of your capx for anything that would alter the direction the particles were moving. When I noticed the collision/bounce event it looked like the most logical possibility.

Chalk it up to having similar things happen while developing.

Your particles are all spawning on top of each other, which means it triggers your on collision events for them. I rewrote your spawn event to this and it worked fine:

Did you double check the font color to make sure it's not still the default black?

Did you put it on it's own layer and set the parallax to 0,0?

Your psudo code should work. You have a screenshot we can look at?
