  I don't think we can fix this. But the workaround is really simple. Don't create huge jump-thrus, just make them a thin bar along the top. There's no point making it any taller than that!

  I'm closing this report since I think the issue in the original post is now resolved. If you still have problems with the Platform behavior, please post a separate new thread for each issue you have with a reproducing .capx.

  Closing as couldn't reproduce.

  ramones - I'm not clear why you're replying. If it's a different issue, you should post a new thread. If it's related, you should explain how.

  If your server is incorrectly configured, it will not serve AppCache or .m4a files correctly, which will break both offline caching and audio in IE and Safari. This is a problem with your server and not a C2 bug. To fix it make sure .m4a serves with the MIME type audio/mp4, and .appcache serves with text/cache-manifest.

  The Array object does support strings. Are you sure you didn't make a zero sized array?

  Sounds like it's working properly. If you issue the action while the fade is fading, the fade will override the opacity you set.

  DavidA13 - it must be a Safari bug because it works fine in Chrome. Also, your game won't work offline now.

  If you use external web fonts, it probably depends on the cache HTTP headers that the server sends. Google Web Fonts should be cached for a long time.

  This is not yet implemented, but is on the todo list.

  Using a browser-based technology requires a bit of a mental shift: you can save data permanently, and download files to disk, but it just works a little differently. You can't do the traditional read-and-write-files arbitrarily, because that's a huge security risk in a browser.

  WebStorage provides permanent save storage, even when offline. You can download Array and Dictionary data as JSON for level editors, and AJAX them as project files to load them dynamically.

  We might be adding more storage features in future, but I think everything's there - it's just a different workflow.

  oppenheimer - it's the version of GLSL that you get with WebGL, and WebGL is based on OpenGL ES 2, so it's (I think) OpenGL ES Shading Language 1.0. It's limited, but this is by design for compatibility with mobile devices which have weaker GPUs.

  I've got adding more parameters on my todo list but there are any you're after specifically?

  lorinbeer - thanks for dropping by! Any plans to support WebGL or Web Audio API?

  Also, how exactly do you communicate from javascript to native? I don't know if you saw but about a year ago I wrote an experimental PhoneGap plugin to enable WebGL support in PhoneGap apps, called WebGLGap. It performed terribly because of the ridiculous overhead of having to stringify all the calls to native. How do you plan to solve that problem?

  This is actually by design. If the edges meet exactly, it can show seams when scrolling and scaling due to the way rendering at sub-pixel offsets works. I think that's a much more common case than semitransparent images.

  Can you work around this by putting the objects on their own layer and setting that layer's opacity, or do you think there needs to be a setting for this?
