2: If you use data elements you can use expressions to pick which music you want to play making music selectors much easier.

Well do you mean when your player punches, stop the movement? One thing you can do is the ignore and restore player control commands.

So, while punching animation is playing, ignore control. Punching animation is finished, restore control.

That would of course require that you actually use the player's input. If you get the commands from keys, this won't work.

You could put all player input into a loop (a loop that checks if keys are pressed) - and only run the loop when the player is not punching.

Sry, but 1 more question..

The best way for save memory and MMF2 run better with sounds is in
- Data Elements , play from disk, no? There is load in call, and preload. Load in call-after play sounds they are in memory. An preload-always in memory.

My problem is .. Im using Parallaxer and enemy is throwing thunders with additive blending. Thunder have a sound. When thunder sound is on, at start, frames go down from 60 to 54; making lag.

I try(and breaking my head too,lol)to find the way for optimize MMF2 with a lot ways, and i could down the lag, but i have litle lag yet. Searching here and cant find nothing. Where can i find some information for optimize aplication?

Thanks a lot.
Id like speak english better.
