need some help

Walkaboutoracle

I downloaded game salad 0-beta and inkspace.
I found that I cannot set the attribute size the field is frozen so are other field. So I am not sure if I have the right version. Can someone help here.

Secondly, I think I need to make my images in Inkspace then import them into game salad. Is this the correct process?

3rd When I make round objects in Inspace and import them into Game salad I end up with a rectangular frame with a round object. How do I get rid of the rectangular frame?

Sorry.... I can't help with the first question... but as for number two: Yes, you can create art in inkscape and export it as a png [which will work in gamesalad]. I would suggest also installing gimp and working with inkscape and gimp to optimize the art as each tool has different approaches and strengths.
I am not quite sure what the third problem is, walkabout... It might due to images always being detected as squares - the empty space around it does not change the fact that a bitmap is always a rectangle filled with coloured and empty pixels. Is the frame in the exported image as well or just in gamesalad and does it still show when you run the app?

1. What attribute(s) are you talking about?

2. As SpriteAttack said.

3. You need to create the image on an alpha background and export as a png, this will remove the white in the rectangle. It will however still be detected as a rectangle in GS unless you tell that actor its collision shape is circular. (In the left hand menu of the actor once double clicked.)
