Help simplifying my code

I know there must be an easier way to set this up. I am spawning platforms that scroll to the left. Each platform has an instance variable which tells the platform weather or not it should have a box sitting on it and which type that box should be. The problem I am having is that I have to define each action for each platform. For instance, if I wanted to add a different box type, I would have to go to each platform setup and add that box type to it. It just seems like a waste of time, plus the code is getting really messy.

I have attached a simplified CAPx of my project to this thread. My actual game is much more complex and has a lot more platform calls, but this should be able to illustrate my problem. Please help!

Not exactly sure what you're looking for. But sounds like it might be functions.

You don't need separate objects. Use one object with different frames. Then you just create the object showing the appropriate frame. This will make life much easier.

That's an interesting solution. I was thinking I would have to set up a loop of some kind. I'll try setting up one object with multiple frames and see how that works out. It should definitely reduce some of my code.

So far this is working great. Very elegant workaround, thanks for the tip Blackhornet!
