  It can be done with the erase effect:

  Layer 2 has "force own texture" checked and the erase effect was given to the grey tiled background.

  I'd like to add that you can do ranma's method without an instance variable. Just use random(1) as the expression in for each ordered.

  Use SOL.Sprite to access the newly created sprite.

  System.Create("Sprite", 1, 0, 0)
  SOL.Sprite.angle = 45

  SOL stands for "selected object list" and allows access to what was picked with events.

  For your example it's better to get the sprite count with Sprite.Count as new objects are not added to the list until after the next toplevel event.

  Using an array would be faster for the flood fill, but it may take more events.

  "Unfortunately I usually only reply after implementing a solution that works."

  I don't know if that was a jab at me personally, but

  If not:

  -----> I think the best method to help teach people is one of cooperation and joint trial and error. Teach a man to fish and all that.

  if so:

  ----->go &*@# yourself.

  -------------------

  There was no jab intended. I was simply stating how I operate.

  EDIT:

  RandomDood here is the flood fill cap example:

  Everyone is so mournful in the CC forums. For the record I read new postings in the CC section just as often as the C2 section if anyone thinks they go unread. Unfortunately I usually only reply after implementing a solution that works.

  Anyway,

  RandomDood in C2 two objects that are touching but not overlapping count as an overlap. So when the the sprite is 32x32 other sprites in all 8 directions are overlapping. With 16x32 others above and below will overlap, and with 32x16 only horizontal will overlap.

  When converting from C2 to CC or vise versa the subtle differences can pose a problem so I usually try to understand what one is doing an then implement it from scratch into the other.

  I need to get to sleep now, but I'll try to wip up an example in CC tomorrow.

  Here is tutorial made about it:

  http://www.scirra.com/forum/quazis-tuts-part-1-the-2-armed-ik-solver_topic39035.html

  It's made for CC but it can be used for C2.

  I'm not positive but access to families was added after the editor was made. Much like behavior access from python.

  It basically is done with a floodfill. You can get the algorithm off of Wikipedia.

  I don't have any examples for CC but here are a few for C2 which can serve as a guide to do it in CC.

  For a family named Blue:

  for obj in Blue:
     obj.angle+=45

  This is one way to do it where COL and ROW is the top left position to copy from.

  local number COL=5

  local number ROW=10

  SmallArray: For each XY element

  --- SmallArray: Set value at (SmallArray.CurX, SmallArray.CurY) to BigArray.At(COL+SmallArray.CurX, ROW+SmallArray.CurY)

  Edit:

  Too slow...

  can't use an algorithm I've found online because of the way the event system works.Nonsense, I made a capx a while back that used those algorithms and was able to implement it in events just fine.

  This formula will convert a percent (x) to dB:

  20*log10(x/100)

  Now I see the problem, it's a bug, spawn doesn't pick the new object.

  The workaround would be to use the System->Create action instead of Sprite->Spawn. For the position use Sprite.ImagePointX(2) and Sprite.ImagePointY(2).

  Not currently. The solution that others have used is export the project twice with webgl enabled and disabled.
