Why not use a layer and alter its opacity.

Put a detector sprite at each point you want to snap to. Make it as large as you need eg. 70px. Use the drag and drop behavior on your animations then check that the dropped sprite overlaps the detector. If it does set the sprite x,y to the centre of the detector. Then run your animation.

I would be inclined to say that this is a normal effect. Any body with mass rotating around a free pivot will exhibit this. I should imagine the only way to counter this would be to apply a suitable counter-touque. Unfortunately maths is not my strong point. R0J0hound would be the man to give a more definitive answer

Do you mean you get to a Y shaped wall? If so why not put an invisble trigger at this point.

An update: I have tried the Chipmunk option and it works as you would expect. I dont know whether this is an option for your project.

Well i havent had much of a chance to take a look. You could always take a look at the Chipmunk Physics behavior which is here:

Can you tell me what segments are for and when they would be used. I looked at the Chipmunk Docs but i dont see where i would use them. What's the radius for?

Thanks

Well although i dont use the Ajax command the following seems to imply that you can load a variable with the contents of the LastData expression. Also if the LastData expression is more complex i.e consists of multiple pieces of data then you can use the tokenat system expression to break it into smaller pieces.

The basic usage of the AJAX object consists of:

Use the Request action to load a URL.

A moment later after the request completes, On completed triggers.

The LastData expression can be used to access the content of the response.

The tokenat system expression may be useful to split simple responses. Alternatively, you could load LastData in to the XML plugin to read it as an XML document.

As far as i know the order isnt relevent at all. You should arrange your events in a way which is easiest for you to understand and debug.

Groups are really there for organisational resons and allow the enabling and disabling of certain sections of code.
