Make an actor wrap around from one side of a scene to the other

Basic Idea: Define an 'Appear' behavior on 'Scene leave' event. Be sure to delete the default behavior of 'Disappear on scene leave'

Sample Game: http://popfly.com/users/team/HowDoI-WrapAroundScene

Details:

Delete the default behavior of "DisappearOnSceneLeave" that every actor gets.
Add a new property change behavior, that is triggered by a "Scene Leave" event. (This is in the Simple events category.)
Select the scene leave side(s) that you want to have trigger this event.

You will need to chose coordinates of where you want the actor to re-appear. Remember that (0,0) is top left corner.
Change the X or Y value of the actor (Myself) so that it reappears at the top or bottom (the Y value), or one of the sides (the X value) of the scene.
