I have a situation where I am loading a bunch of random values on startup. Right now its just the colors for testing. It would be color and shape down the line. The random values create different "packs" the packs then need to be selectable and load into another layer or layout where I will set up a way to edit them (change shape and color manually)

So I made ap capx:

Two questions:

So whats the best way to transfer and have the selected pack show up in the other layout or layer?

In the example capx I have the pack selector turn off layer 0 and load the Edit layer.. However notice the buttons on the Edit layer don't seem to work even though that are set up the exact same way? Any Ideas?

Thanks for reading.

Select a pack:

Load that random pack in another layer and eventually edit the results:

You can make all these objects global, then when player selects a group of objects, destroy all other objects and change layout. Remaining objects will be transferred to the new layout.

Alternatively, you need to save the list of selected objects in an array/dictionary and then re-create them in the new layout from the saved data.

Read about families and containers, they may make the job much easier.
