  well that's what I mean, I'd like to be able to resize the image without it always resizing towards the top-left but rather somewhere else. I'm just hoping something like that is possible as it would really boost the efficiency of level editors.

  Either cropping or changing the hotspot of the image would be really useful!

  Oh yay! Thanks Ash.

  I just have another feature I'd really really love to see with this object to, the ability to crop. Similar to the image manipulator's crop feature I guess. This would be really useful!! Would this be a possibility?!

  The Tiled Background is a wonderful object, however would it be possible to have a feature that allows you to load an image from an external file? The sprite object has this, but it would be really handy if you could load an image with this object!

  It was fun trying to make something like this from the bottom up, while trying to keep it balanced.

  I think all of them sound and look like they could be really great games!

  Organising events into groups and making comments is a very good habit to have.

  Is it possible to have an action where you can set where the box is being viewed from, or something like that?

  <img src="http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh57/alspal/3dboxthing.png">

  So you can make the boxes viewed like the image on the right?

  It takes for ever animating each slice though

  I can obviously get Link to work fine, its just when it comes to giving perspective to each slice for walls and such that a spread would be useful.

  My alternative methods to spread value seem to always cause a crash

  A feature that is useful with alterable values in MMF is the 'spread value' feature, where each value is assigned a unique ID.

  I'm trying to set a value into a family, based on the X position of a family object, but how do I retrieve values from a family?

  Families don't seem to appear in the bottom object bar in the action window.

  edit: ok I figured I could just say FAMILYNAME.x even though the families didn't show down the bottom.

  Is there a chance you can make it play mp3/ogg etc as sounds and not just music? (on different channels or whatever)

  or even store .ogg files in the resource
