It looks like this is being implemented in Fusion 3. Have a look at the latest developer blog posted yesterday (28th Nov):

http://www.clickteam.com/fusion-3-development-blog

It's not bad at all. You can purchase Fusion for different platforms, and you chose Steam. It's a measly $10 (will vary slightly depending on your country) to convert Fusion plus one exporter to...

Unless I am missing something, no, it's not possible to compile Mac apps with the Windows Editor.

Just to confirm AND's comment; yes, you can create native Mac apps with the Mac Editor, and it also creates Windows apps natively - it's an impressive feat - I tried it, and it just works!

What kind of movement are you using to control the player? If, for example, you are using physics, you could probably decrease the friction, and / or apply an impulse.

I've installed Beta 5 and have tested the rotation feature. It works, but sometimes when an active object rotates it flashes! I'll provide more detail in another post.

I've booked my accommodation at Sidney Sussex College.

That's what I would expect with a SWF created by MMF. I have carried out extensive testing with numerous methods and SWF tools including utilities I have hand-coded in Actionscript 3, and I cannot...

I'll add my voice; I agree that the above would be beneficial within the Clickteam forums.

It was kind of you to do that, but all my MMF2 work gets exported to a SWF, and I don't think those extensions are available for the SWF exporter.

LB, unless I have misunderstood your message, I would have to manually enter the number of the last frame into a global variable every time I added a new frame, which is what I am trying to avoid.

Actually, that will do the trick so I won't have to manually change a global variable each time I add a level (which is the problem I am trying to overcome).

If, at the start of the application,...

Yes, I could, but it would be more convenient if the number of frames could be determined at runtime.
