  Try renaming them to .flac instead of .FLAC. We fixed a bug recently where the audio importer was accidentally case sensitive. It should also be fixed already in r136.

  I think it's node-webkit's fault. Appending data to the end of an EXE file is a weird thing to do, and I was always a bit suspicious of that approach since I first found node-webkit, so I'm not at all surprised it has ended up throwing false positive virus reports.

  I've posted an issue with node-webkit recommending they change this:

  github.com/rogerwang/node-webkit/issues/843

  Hopefully a future release will simply use a separate data file, which I think will be far less likely to throw a false positive.

  I looked in to this, and node-webkit's user-agent string by default looks exactly the same as Chrome's, and I didn't want to add detection based on a common global variable name ("require"). So for the next build I've made a change where you can just add "nw" to the query string, and it forces it to detect as node-webkit. i.e. just visit localhost instead and it should enable all node-webkit features. (Obviously don't do this from a browser, since it will just throw javascript errors when it hits the node-webkit specific code.)

  I was thinking about adding something like this to the debugger. It's probably not possible to measure individual events (since the overhead of measuring might end up being more than the time it took to run the event itself), but perhaps it could narrow it down to how much time spent in each event group.

  It should use whatever version of PhoneGap you tell it to. If you originally upload with PhoneGap 2.7, it will stay on PhoneGap 2.7 until you explicitly set the version to something else, IIRC.

  Families pick instances separately. So create a new family, add just "Enemy", and then you can say "Enemy: on collision with Family". Then you can also refer to each instance individually by making actions either for Enemy or for Family.

  I'm concerned about the "mini web games" stereotype. In several ways, C2 is actually faster, more efficient, and more stable with large projects than our old native engine. I'd actually say it's more suitable for large projects.

  I'll look in to fixing the node-webkit preview issue...

  OK - I think this has been fixed for the next build... but if you could test it some more and let me know how it works when it comes out, that would be useful.

  Closing as not a bug: you haven't set a listener object.

  Can't reproduce in Firefox Nightly (v24), perhaps they already fixed it - does it reproduce for you in Nightly still? I tested at this URL: scirra.com/demos/c2/sbperftest - runs silky smooth for me even with asm.js enabled.
