  Automatic, always-on per-layout memory loading was implemented in r107. However, it only affects the WebGL renderer, because the canvas 2D API does not provide manual memory management. For browsers which do not support WebGL (notably IE10/Win8) it's simply up to the browser to manage memory intelligently. It's possible it does this already, but it's hard to test - your best best is to ask the browser vendor. On CocoonJS and directCanvas it's also not supported, but it may be coming soon (I've discussed with both about implementing it explicity even though they're both currently canvas 2D rendered).

  I'm locking this thread since people keep bumping it.

  Audio sprites are no longer necessary! This is an old post from May before iOS 6 was released with polyphonic audio support. There is no longer any reason to use audio sprites.

  See supporting multiple screen sizes. Unfortunately CocoonJS doesn't support letterbox mode yet, so you have to deal with different aspect ratios. This often means drawing backgrounds bigger than they need to be, supporting fluid HUD positioning and so on.

  If you enable fullscreen-in-browser, does it work?

  It's quite difficult to fix this because both Chrome and Firefox seem to treat it slightly differently.

  I think this should be fixed in the next build, thanks for the report.

  I can't reproduce it not working at all - if I print the acceleration values in CocoonJS it shows data, but the values seem to be in different units. CocoonJS seems to have much smaller acceleration values, which makes it seem broken if you compare them. I'll tell Ludei about this; closing this report as it's not a C2 issue.

  loyalpenguin - actually I'm not sure it's a Windows 8 bug... are you using a fullscreen mode? If not, that might be related...

  I've heard about this before, and I'm pretty sure it's a Windows 8 bug. We definitely listen for all the touch end or touch cancel events that Windows 8 sends, and in this case it sounds like it ought to fire a touch cancel bug, but it doesn't. I'll get in touch with Microsoft and see if they can comment. In the mean time can you share a complete Visual Studio solution that demonstrates the problem so we can reproduce it?

  Thanks, should be fixed in the next build... but recursive functions are proving tricky to get right!

  The fall-through bug is fixed for the next build, but I can't reproduce that error in IE10 here with the same template. Does it happen every time or just a one off? Are there any additional messages in the browser error console?

  It's very difficult to do anything about this without a repro. However R0J0hound's description is interesting. I reviewed the image editor code carefully and found some code that may have caused crashes on exit in some cases. I've made changes for the next build but it's not something I can reliably reproduce myself - so we'll just have to see how it goes.

  Can you reproduce this in the latest beta r111? We fixed an issue with projects generating huge backup files. You'd need to save-as project folder first though, to make sure it gets rid of the old backup file.

  Closing as this is probably an issue in those plugins; please let me know if you can reproduce this using official plugins and behaviors only.

  mindgear - can you share your .capx that has this issue? I cannot reproduce it using any of my own projects. See how to report bugs, we always ask that you provide this if possible.

  Closing, can't reproduce any problem creating instance variables. Please include significantly more detail in your report of the issue including complete steps to reproduce the problem otherwise it will remain closed.
