Re: gravitation project HELP!
I'm not sure what you want to have happen. Since you can move objects wherever you want, having them ignore gravity (levitate) is easy. It is actually harder to make them look like they *are* affected by gravity.

Re: gravitation project HELP!
For that kind of levitating effect, you can use something like:
[blocks]
<repeat( 20
<wait( .2 seconds
<change y by( 1
<wait( .2 seconds
<change y by( -1
[/blocks]
You can see on my project I used forever instead of repeat to keep it going forever. I'll be interested to hear what you decide to make.

Re: gravitation project HELP!
Lots of folks would be happy to help, but, as Kevin pointed out, you'll need to describe what "levitating" should look like.
I would imagine that having a sprite move up and down slowly between two levels would look like levitation, do you want it to move left/right as well? Do you want the user to be able to control the motion in any way?
Does this demo come close to what you want?
