Ok Jeff, I know this will seem a little like griping but I have to return to the interface issue for my own peace of mind. Before I begin let me say that if you feel I’m being too picky or you don’t agree, please tell me to shut up and I’ll never bring THIS subject up again .

So I was trying to finish a figure and had selected a head. Now since I want the head and the face at the same time I need to have multiple items enabled. So I go to faces and select the first one. don’t like it. delete it. WAM, I’m back at the heads. Select faces again. click face number two. don’t like it. if I delete it I’m AGAIN back to the heads and have to select the faces again. just a tad tiresome.

The other way is I have to select face 2 before deleting face 1. So once I have multiple items on, there’s no simple way to cycle through the items. And maybe that’s just the way my though process works but…

Either way great effort and I’ll still support you all the way since you’ve given a guy that really can’t draw a straight line, the ability to show my RPG characters OUT OF MY HEAD! Thanks

aaaand me… once more… The aura when you move the mouse over an object… I wish to be able to add that (and change it’s color obviously) to any object.

Hey, it’s me again… since I just did a bobo with the figure I was playing, it just came to me…. an undo button. Again, my experience with flash being, uhhhh ZERO, I don’t know how complicated that would be, but….. there’s another suggestion

Is it possible to add a delete button to the transform command. It would sure make it easier when I’m trying to figure out if something looks good.

Few Items that don’t seem to work quite right:

-HandRight last item – defaults to the one above it
-Tops last item – doesn’t appear at all. The separate parts (torso and arms) work though.

@Worf: The movement constraint on certain items is a bug I need to get fixed.

The latter is working as designed, at least for now. If you have a slot set to allow multiple items and you delete all the items in it, then the interface takes you to a slot that is active. If you have the slot set to NOT allow multiples, you stay on that slot as you cycle through items.

Somehow now I can’t move any item at all beyond a certain point to the right. That means that if I try to move a ShoulderLeft item it now gets stuck in the middle of the torso.

Also for functionality if I select an item, say a Top, and then delete it, the interface jumps back to the previous item I included (say HandLeft), making me select Top again to get to another selection.

@Tristan: I’m afraid that’s just how it’s going to work, some bits are going to get cut off. It has to be set at a certain size; if you want everything in, use the “All items” group and Scale it down till everything shows on-screen. Patterns are probably next up on the feature implementation agenda. Item additions, as I’ve said several times already, are ongoing; this is an ALPHA, a whole shit-ton of stuff isn’t done yet.

@Fabien: Masking will not work for groups. In Flash an item can only work for one thing at a time. The trick to do two insignia at once is to create two Body items, and mask one insignia on each.

The grouping don’t works for masking. It would practicle if for example you want mask insignias in your first example. I think it’s a wishable feature.
