Okk, how can I then handle this problem?

Please i'm trying to do something with objects ina a family, such that ob dragging an object in a layoout, using the id of the object selected, only that object is set visible in the next layout. I thought families should be able to handle this perfectly but it seems not to be working and i've been on it for a while.

here is a link to an example of what i want to do

family test

I'm having some problem with my program. Presently i'm working on a second layer, so initially on start of layout i set layout 2 to be invisible, on the click of button , layer 3 is expected to be visible while layer one invisble.

But, when layer 2 pops up, the objects on that layer are not in the right position i set them to, they just jump around the screen randomly. I don't know why. I've checked my image point (origin, i also used the set position action but i cannot set position for all the objects on the layer on start, i dont think that is appropriate and also, i need the drag and drop behaviour of some of the objects to be enable on start of layer.

blackhornet, thanks a lot family really handled everything i wanted to do. You are the best <img src="smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

blackhornet, simply put for that sample file u created to xplain, I do I get to to set text for only one of those instances at a time instead of d for each you used(imagine dat program is meant to set txt for only say the second instance). Or what if those text objects were actually different objects, how do I set text to each of the at different point in time by calling a single function.

That's the challenge, the setTextByUID call cannot be in that group as the parameter (UID) passsed to it is expected to change depending on when it is called.

blackhornet, thnaks. but i'm still yet to figure out how to make it work for what i want to do. Please take a look at my .capx file here

I'm having some issues implementing something in my work.

What i want to achieve is: i need to display some texts in some text objects, but the object i display the text in depends on some other things, so i need to implement a function that would be able to take in the parameter of which text object to set the text to at that particular time.

I'm not sure on how to implement this even using UID

Thanks a lot, I've sorted it out, I actually had a cracked license, my partner sent a wrong folder to me. But I've been able to get the license we paid for and I'm live now on r139. So happy

Ok, Just did that. Would let you know the outcome. Thanks a lot

I'm still having the issue as i cannot still update my latest version of construct2. I saw this stufff on construct about using your hast number to get a steam number or so and then activating on steam, i was able to get the numeber using my license but i cant still find the activate product option, so presently im still using free edition of r139 as i cannot activate my license. I might just have to go back to the old r114 if i cannot import my license till im able to solve it o buy another.

i install directly from the site
