  All instances of Sprite share the same texture of the same frame in the same animation.

  At this point, I'd suggest not using the b word anymore.

  Don't want anyone to get the wrong idea.

  Math, it gets you in the end.

  But its moving in 2d, not isometric, so its y will be more than what it should be, unless you offset it to iso coordinates.

  If you want to change anything that does collisions after the transformation it will have to be done this way.

  If you want to add anything after the squash and rotate, it will have to be placed to iso.

  Move one of the blockers after the transformation.

  This capx by Rojo shows why:

  Press the up and down keys and notice how much faster the ball on the 2d layer moves.

  That coupled with the need for the gazillion blocker squares is why.

  I know it does not work as I used this method in CC when it did work, and then was broken when the engine was changed to scale uniformly.

  Even then it would have required an offset to be made to any objects as soon as they moved.

  Nope.

  Those objects will still have to be placed to isometric offsets.

  Well as I said in my first post the iso movement is different from regular movement. Up or down has to be half of what it is for right or left.

  Then a single image just isn't a good option. It wastes memory for another thing.

  Plus you still have to solve z order the same old way.

  Its a feature request at best.

  As in Ashley can I have layers with separate width and height scale?

  Scale is somewhat complicated already changing just the height makes it harder.

  10x10 /2 = 5x5,10x5 /2 = 5x2.5

  Then apply that to a matrix....

  Edit:

  Also you would want it as just for layers, as you would want regular layers for gui, etc.

  But that makes it even more complicated, as you would have to keep track of the layout to layer xy's for each layer.

  Sorry but the strange isometric calculations are the best way.

  This is one of the better explanations:
