Thank u Wodjanoi. Yes they are images. Yes that looks like something I will try.

Please login to see this attachment.

Yes thank you for looking at this. Some elaboration on what I am trying to do.

On the left is a mock of my screen. There are two spaces that I would like to randomly select from a repository of pre-arranged objects. The positions are very important and are thus pre-arranged by hand. I would like to select at random every few seconds a group of objects (from the six on the right) and insert them into on of the two boxes on the screen.

Let me know if anything else needs elaboration.

Can someone help me with this problem?

I am trying to create a group of objects by a command. How can I do that without having to specify the x and y location of each of the active objects in the group?

Thank you!

Apologies I was looking at the lines in the mfa file and could not figure out what this is supposed to do for the "Set Player Number" part. Does this actually see all the authenticated players on the game and help to find a match?

Ok thanx. I hope for a fix then,.....

In Xcode when I try to validate my build, I received the following error - Invalid Image Path - No Image found at the path referenced under key "CFBundleIcons":'filename'

Can anyone help point me to resolving this?

Appreciate some help with using IAds

I have a horizontal app created but the iAds seem to appear to be on the right top side of the screen. It also looks terribly huge. Screenshot attached.

1. What do I need to do to get this to the right position? I understand from using my ipphone that they should be in the middle (and smaller).

2. Is the size of my iAd overly huge? Any advise on what could have happened?

Thanx in advance...

Hi - this is really helpful. It showed me many insights on how MMF2.5 works and how logical I need to think to get a program done (I have no system background). Thank you for the time spent to educate me and help me along.

I am trying to do a simple change of animation frames and sequences but have difficulty.

I have one active with 2 animation sequences (Walking and Stopped).
- Start with Sequence Stopped, Frame 0
- With each click, I would like to advance one frame in Stopped to change the colour of the square
- At the last frame of Stopped, a click should change the Sequence to Walking as I would like to have a rotating colour animation
- At sequence Walking, a click should revert the sequence to Stopped
- the whole process goes back to the beginning

However, I encountered the following problems :
- cannot change the sequence to Walking on the last frame of sequence Stopped
- cannot show frame 7 of Stopped.

Any help is greated appreciated.

Thanks everyone.... I have this working due to your help!

Hi Is there any other way other than using the Physics ground? I intend to have a few of those cups but the physics ground creates a continuous baseline which does not work.

I am doing some testing and was wondering if anyone can help with a problem I have. I wanted the balls to fall into the cup. But somehow the ball is falling on the invisible upper edge line of the cup. Appreciate help to overcome this problem.

Thank you so much for the explanation - it also covered my confusion with rergards to the part on pasting to the background. This is good learning. Cheers and happy new year

Hi - can I consult what are lines 2 and 3 for (Set x position to x.....+ random (-8,8) and Start loop for each one .....name "loop"?

Thank you...

can someone please help me understand this example. On frame 1, the coin moves automatically - which command is making it move? On frame 2, the coin moves in a fixed space - where is this set?

Thank you so much - I am trying to learn how this works. Cheers!

Jason, i just bought your wargames a few months back over amazon. I did not plan on doing a wargame but just wanted to get some concepts through the book.....l and it was a great book. Will be looking out for the new adventure book.

Thank you Marv.... That was indeed helpful

Hi... I am thinking of doing a boardgame but need some technical advise for doing so. Any pointers on the following is deeply appreciated :
- how to i implement the movement of the player object and its movement from one tile to the next following a dice throw. Is there a way for the player piece to know how to move to the correct tile on its own?
- any input on the purpose and functions of the advanced boardgame object?
- are there tutorials and examples on how to do is?

Thanx once again for any help....

This is definitely pro stuff. Another great inspiration.

Thanks for the guidance. The detail on the right side of the iphone5 is a blank/black bar? Does tis mean that the extra code is to push my right hand side button further to e right? I think i am in trouble as y game uses lots of x y coordinate detection. Any way to just stretch out the screen and its items.
