   Shell

Shell behavior is still under development. One of the feature is to get the instance's expression(x,y,width,height,angle...etc), from uid.
Currently, it provides to get these expressions
- x
- y
- width
- height
- angle
- opacity
- visible

Example of getting instance's expression from uid

In example, there are two kinds of sprite -"SpriteA" and "SpriteB". In line2, the global variable "uid" saves the uid of clicked instance of "SpriteB".
Then in expression of "action:append text", it use "SpriteA.shell.X(uid)" -- The SpriteA's shell behavior can get the position x by uid, even the uid is not point to SpriteA.

BTW, expression of shell behavior like "shell.X" actually accepts two parameters. First is uid, second is a default value if the uid doesn't point to any instance.

	I really love all your plugins, they make my life 10x easier!!! One quick question about this one though. If i want to make a local level editor/map creator what ever you want to call it, is this the plugin to use? Because i will have to save the x and y locations of each instance dragged on the stage right?

	Try Sprite Bank. It can save instances' properties, and let you create them.
