Press Ctrl to pause/unpause the physics.

You could apply a force in the opposite direction to the current direction of travel, which should slow the object down.

The buttons that I created were active objects, rather than any sort of built in button.

They work with Windows and Flash, and worked with iOS in MMF2, but no longer work in F2.5.

I've had this very annoying bug as well - I reported this privately in the Bug Tracker (I gave an example file of a project I was working on) a few months ago, but I never got a reply for it.

I have this exact error, too.

Angle of incidence = angle of reflection.

So if there's an angle of incidence of 45°, then the angle of reflection will be 45°.

That's perfect, thank you! :)

The active object is a single solid colour, and this colour needs to be replaced using the "replace colour" action, but I'm not sure how to make it a gradual change.

How would I make it so that an active object that starts out as red (255,0,0) gradually fades through all of the colours of the spectrum? I know how I'd do it in terms using the replace colour...
