+1 ..ive got the same issue ... 10 layers with 4 identical events on each, but i have to copy/paste them over and over again for each layer

Use loops?

Yep. Use loops or functions to do that work.

Sure, but what is the correct syntax for dynamic instantiation? item+x = new Layer x:0, y:0, width:100, height:100 - item+x doesn't work.

Ah... You just want to create layers and don't care about the name?

You can skip assigning it to a variable altogether. Or you can assign it to an object.

myLayers = {}

for id in [1..10]
myLayers["layer#{id}"] = new Layer x:0, y:0, ... continue setting properties

Thank you! I believe this is what I was looking for.

No problem!

So this was very useful for creating items with unique names and applied handlers. But I cant seem to discretely select them beyond using this inside the handler. Specifically, inside that layer I created a sublayer with html text. I've tried this.subLayers[index+1].html and layername+#{id}.html etc...

print this.subLayers

What do you get?

Ahah! this.subLayers[1].html

thank you again

:D
