Title: Only 3 options under create->tk2d
Post by: Mezcaholic on January 18, 2013, 02:57:31 am

When clicking create->tk2d I only see 3 options, Sprite Collection, Sprite Animation and Font.  Admitedly I am new to 2d Toolkit but following the docs, I want to create an Animated Sprite and the docs don't jibe with what I'm seeing.

What have I buggered up?

[EDIT]  it looks like if I click Add Component I can get access to the SpriteAnimation.  I'll mess around with that and see where that gets me. If someone out the knows I am way in the weeds please shoot me a signal flare.

Thanks,

You're probably mixing up the hierarchy & project windows.

You create sprite collections, sprite animations, fonts in the project window as they are global to your project.
You create sprites, textmeshes, etc. in the hierarchy window as they live in the scene.

Thanks for replying, I have noticed that you are very diligent with answering user's queries. 

I figured it out some time last night, I have my first simple animation up and running.  Also thanks for approving me for the downloads, the beta is quite nice, especially the animation editor.

I see that in the tutorial it shows the heirarchy panel, you may want to call this out or highlight it for your noob users like myself.  I know nothing about Unity and 2D Toolkit so I'm easy to confuse.

Noted. This is fixed in the new docs for 1.90
