  As long as the number of objects add up to the same, going by iid is fairly reasonable.

  As in this index = that iid, blah, blah, blah.

  One draw back from CC's containers was that creation, and destruction were tied together.

  It would be nice if there were some flag you could apply. Telling if a contained object should be created with its parent, etc.

  Image manipulator has a few pre-made effects also.

  Ok.

  Well the work around would be to add all the images to one sprite then.

  iso no family

  Would not suggest using a lot of frames.

  No need for layers, if you use families, and for each ordered.

  family iso

  Not sure what you mean by Every.

  Might try int(tokenAt("2,6",int(random(1)),","))

  No need for layers.

  When doing an action after your condition add the action under z order "send to top".

  It depends on your interpretation of "smooth".

  Lerp offers a transition similar, but its a curve so the start, and end can be slower than the middle. Ease out, ease in if you will.

  Also you cant really do exactly 6 seconds, nor should you expect that in a system that goes on frame rate.

  However, if that's not terribly important, you can get a close approximation using dt.

  I'd suggest some experimentation with variables as triggers if you absolutely have to that kind of precession.

  Just be ready for frame skips.

  Nice example.

  For the mouse & keyboard object you could go without the variable if you use control states.

  MouseKeyboard.ControlState("", 1)

  That will return 1 or 0. Useful in this particular situation.

  Quotes are the named control, and 1 is the player.

  So its basically a special trigger with a timer?

  Sounds interesting, and sounds like it could reduce a number of events.

  Ok Thanks.

  Might be nice if we had a place with all these little tidbits.

  Lesser known faqs perhaps.

  Dunno about giving the power to delete with enough rep.

  Making it where you have to have x amount of rep to make one should be sufficient.

  Remember we all have the ability to edit existing tuts, so if you feel a tut is lacking you can always add to it, just so long as you don't detract from it.

  However, the tuts talked about here.... seem as if someone was trying to be an ****

  I'm sure Ashley/Tom will make suitable adjustments.

  Ashley implemented this in CC as an expression.

  The cap(not capx) attached in the link explains how it all works.

  Might see if Ashley would add it to C2.
