    after playing a bit, all i can figure out is that you have your chaining reversed. also, to troubleshoot, keep the 'child' (chained) parameter nodes visible till it's worked out. i'd start over with the trouble parameter/ action group, but chained propertly.
    Sometimes, i get lost in my own thoughts and need to ask directions to find my way back.

    The chaining isnt the issue (thank you thou...i went thru each of the options)
    It appears the the issue is the fact that the polar streatch is moving the entire array parameter.
    Im not sure why or how

    the basic rule of thumb is to not pick other actions in entity selection by other actions. when you dbl click your polar stretch action, hit enter (to bypass resetting your window) you can type in 'r' to remove objects in your selection set. (remember in a polar stretch action, the first group is for stretching, & the second is for rotation only)
