  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

  The only way to use the flawed point scaled window resize is to change the display resolution and then apply a zoom.

  That's really all that's worth using it for.

  That was pretty cool, mine started to drop below 60 FPS at around 2000 though.

  Reminds me of Bloody Zombies

  That was actually fixed in one of the most recent builds, for which I am eternally greatful.

  For the most part, try using the wand tool to select an obscure shape and then try to flip it. It won't work properly.

  Deadeye, you should make a template thing so that people can understand how to use animations?

  Will this be remain like this forever? Where we have to manually tell the animatino to play, when we didn't even tell it to stop?

  ahh well. Guess having pixel art is really not ideal for this program.

  I don't know if this is possible with Construct, but since the zoom thing isn't a perfect way to get a crisp pixel art. Can other things be used like 'Super 2xSaI' when the window is resized? Or any other of the similar sort of algorithms? Since they look quite nice
