  Well that's just x. If you want to go that way then I would suggest the overlapping at offset condition.

  I think it would be nice to have some presets/parameter constraints for where drag and drop can drag.

  Basically clamp(self.x,0,layoutwidth) etc.

  Either way really. The only issue is when using system expressions to pick, you will need to use a for each on the object that will do the picking.

  For each magnet distance(self.x,self.y,annode.x,annode.y) < n do stuff.

  Ok, I guess thats right, but the initial coordinates might add width to height.

  Same here.

  My guess is the extra real estate it has to keep track of.

  There's efficiency, and then there's "wtf, how did you get to 3000 events?"

  While the game may run with a lot of events, the time spent setting up so many events might be quite questionable.

  Especially if you were to want to edit said capx at a later time.

  So best advise, if you see a more elegant way to set something up, you should try to figure it out as best as you can.

  Lots of weird stuff going on with the updates.

  Expected behavior for the capx is to "tween" from "current" to target x, and y.

  Had other issues just setting that up. Sometimes would warp to the correct target and slowly ease into position.

  Other times would just disappear.

  Like they say, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

  I'd also like to introduce a new saying.

  If you want to write code, go write code.

  Yeah. That's a pretty unexpected behavior.

  Why not just draw a point using canvas?

  It has r,g,b, and opacity, which is your alpha channel basically.

  Hmm, didn't see this one.

  So this is pretty much like the object pairer from CC?

  Having some issues with recent versions of C2 not picking via sprite(index).

  Not sure what exactly is going on, since this worked in r95.

  I can only assume that referencing the index of another object is broken now that picking for created objects has changed.

  Are the recent picking changes worth it?

  Yeah, but you also inherit features not available to chrome, such as full touch support.

  Which is one of the few things Windows 8 has got going for it.
