Something that bugs me since eons is that with an alpha channel you cannot rectangle select a piece of the picture and simply delete it. You just delete the RGB part. The alphachannel stays, and becomes visible at the deleted areas now. That`s not how this should work. I would have to count the pixel positions in both, the RGB part and the Alphachannel part, and perform the exact same operation at both.

Something that bugs me since eons is this imprecise pencil behaviour in the Image editor. Sometimes i have to click into the next pixel that my target pixel gets painted. There must be a bug in the zoom behaviour.

I cannot find Automatic Rotation in the Help. Not under Active Object, nor under Common Properties/Runtime. Does this missing, or do i search at the wrong place?

By the way, what does it?

Hi Tiles,

i don' t know what you mean with "automatic" Rotation, but in the Active-Object-Editor when you have for example an animation for the left direction, then you can right-click on the "black square-shaped direction dot" and select "create rotated directions". This will automaticaly create the animations for all the directions you have specified (4,8,16 or 32).
I don' t know if it it that what you meant.

Thanks Jahkri. I talk about the Automatic Rotation checkbox in the Properties/Runtime section of an Active. There is simply no info

Hmmm that use to describe it someplace.

What it does ( for example )

If you have an active object with 1 direction and set it to 8 direction movement it will automatically rotate your object.

Try it out

Put an active on the frame
Set it to 8 directions
Turn on automatic rotations
Edit the direction 0 graphic to be an arrow pointing like this ---->

Now what ever way the arrow is moving it will rotate the graphic to that direction.

Thanks Jeff. Very useful information. That needs to be in the manual

I actually think that it shouldwork that way... though I can see how you would not like it. Perhaps there should be a checkbox of whether these types of image actions affect the other half of the image, alpha channel or the image itself.

The "Machine-ondependent speed" option doesn't work with Sub-Application.
However, the "/MIS1" option was worked fine.

Doesn't the sub app run with the frame code? So, since it isn't independent of the main app, I think the main app has to have MIS for the sub app to have MIS.
