  Closing as not a bug. The mistake is in your events: 'All preloads complete' is not a trigger, so you will be repeatedly playing sounds 60 times a second, which is the source of the memory leak and high CPU usage.

  That's not quite what I meant, if you import the image as a project file it can load even in preview without any CORS issue. Anyway, it's not a bug: by design changing animation frame keeps the relative scale. Since you choose "keep same size" while loading a much larger image, it means the sprite has scaled itself down much smaller than the animation frame. This overall scale is preserved when switching to other frames. Otherwise the object is effectively resizing itself as it plays the animation. Workaround: explicity set the size using a 'set size' action.

  It works fine for me (using SpaceBlaster) with both the oggs and m4as in the project. Can anyone reproduce it not working in a new project?

  No - but why do you ask? Why do you want to avoid the 3rd party exporters?

  I'm not sure what's to gain with this over something like CocoonJS. Unless they support WebGL (standards-compliant, and not a custom OpenGL binding), I don't see how it would be faster, or easy to integrate.

  Buttons are form controls and aren't really designed to be used like that. Perhaps you could just use a sprite as a button.

  Well an easy thing to do is have invisible objects with no animations that are all acting differently, then just have one "cosmetic" sprite with lots of animations that you pin to each different kind of object.

  You shouldn't have 20 objects using the same images! Just use one object type with that one set of images.

  OK, I've fixed this for the next build, but the problem is the fullscreen request fails. You can only use it in keyboard input events, and layout changes happen after a one tick delay, so the fullscreen request on 'start of layout' after changing layout fails. The fix means the window stays in the middle rather than going to the top left, but the request has still failed, so it won't do anything else.

  Can you share a .capx anyway? You can request a project file to repro this without cross-origin problems.

  I bought a Personal license on Steam today to check if it's working, and it works fine for me. I think you'll have to contact Valve about this...

  Can you share the .capx you used? Also, are you sure you are using the RTM version of Windows 8 and not an earlier preview?

  Can't reproduce, runs just fine in IE10 here. Are you sure you don't have any IE addons that are breaking the preview?
