actually forget that last bit. I modified by old engine to use nothing but Add Backdrops on top of each other, and got it to run smoothly by simply disabling "Handle Collisions in Invisible Playfield". So I can still use an editor and have 50 FPS. And the parallax is done via background images objects. Its quite spiffy, and once I finish the editor controls for adding BIO's and gravity zones, and maybe if I program the grappling hook first, well then I'll post both the thingies as a download.
so, uh, soon
