  Clicking the "Help With Expressions" link in a parameters window crashes construct.

  Just double the frame of the animation in the animation's time line.

  Here's a great example of a html5 game.

  It was NOT created with construct 2, but everything in it could have been.

  Click the sprite you want to add a variable to, and then on the left hand side you'll see a list, in there it says "instance variables" click Add/edit and a new window will pop up. Press the + button in there to create a new variable for that object.

  If you are using the platform behavior on enemies/mushrooms you can use the Sprite -> "simulate control" -> move left action to make them move. That way, gravity is built in.

  You would pin a text field onto the tile below it.

  i would recommend using the sprite font plugin though, its less CPU intenseive then text fields.

  Try setting 'Sampling' to 'Point' in project properties.

  Try making the collision box 1 pixel smaller then the sprite image.

  Each instance has a Instance ID and a Unique ID.

  so can query a specific instance that way.

  0plus1, could you please put together a guide or tutorial on your windows to mac xcode/phonegap workflow that would help us out who want to try this method?

  I don't have a mac but am thinking of trying out the macinacloud site for this very purpose.

  You can post a link to a drop box file

  just post it as a text link instead of as a http link

  Does increasing the "within angle" to like 10 fix the issue?

  There is an action for an animation called "is playing" that allows to you check if a specific animation is playing currently on a sprite.

  You need to set up several "what if" checks to determine when to play what animation.

  eg: on keyboard "left" pressed

  (sub event) if flying right animation is playing -> play "turn left" animation

  (else)

  play left flying animation

  move character to left etc....

  ...

  .

  This way any time your player is flying right and the left button is pressed, it plays a transition that turns him around. (only if he is currently flying right) otherwise, he will just go left.

  same goes for all other situations he might come across

  Very cool.

  It would be nice that each time you change to a new position in the array using the up/down arrows in the set array position section that the value would update automatically (or provide that option).

  Great work!

  Not sure off the top of the head why your specific animation isnt working, but there's an alternative way to trigger something when an animation finishes.

  You can compare a value to which frame your animation is currently on.

  so you could do "if death animation = frame 10 then"
