  I don't think it's a bug, it's a kind of quirk of the custom movement which is by design.

  Your actions happen in this order:

  1. Set angle of motion

  2. Accelerate

  When the object is created it has zero speed, which also means if you ask for its angle, it has no motion and therefore no angle and just returns 0.

  If you set the angle of motion of an object which is not moving, it effectively does nothing. The object is not moving so has no angle of motion, so there's nothing to change. Then when you do accelerate, since it has no angle of motion it uses 0 and goes to the right.

  If you do it the other way around - accelerate then set the angle of motion - it works, because as soon as you accelerate there is an angle of motion, and that can then be set.

  So, closing as not a bug I'm afraid...

  Thanks for the repro - found an issue which only affected exported projects when rotating through 180 degrees (it did not seem to affect previewing on LAN). I'm pretty sure it's a Safari bug but I implemented a workaround. Hopefully this is fixed in the next build.

  I don't understand the error message - it says "??rdk\?2?vb??!j_0??d?[?r?\?&Nck8^???0". Is it possible that you can translate what it ought to be saying? This may be related to the following fix in r104. Are you using r104? [FIX] Issue with Windows 8 store complaining about the UTF-8 encoding of jQuery-1.7.1.min.js. The file now includes the BOM as required.

  Are you sure it's not a bug with the Blackberry browser or OS? AFAIK, other platforms all treat volume as they are supposed to.

  Have you read performance tips? Creating hundreds of tiny objects is just about the least efficient thing you can possibly do, so it's not really surprising if that causes a slowdown on mobile...

  This has already been reported in r104, and is already fixed in r105.

  It's difficult to do anything about this without a reliable way to reproduce it.

  I think you want to use the Tint shader instead for that.

  You should be able to copy and paste all the objects first (from the layout), then all the events afterwards. (Don't try to copy/paste events if the target project doesn't yet have all the objects referenced by the events.)

  We don't have any plans to add to the Particles object. If you need more advanced functionality you can regularly spawn sprites with the bullet behavior and control the sprites individually, but it is slower than using Particles.

  TheDev - Ludei's response still sounds like they won't have fixed it because the 'canPlayType' function is not related to the user agent. It sounds like they're fixing the detection with 'isAndroid', which will not affect this issue.

  'Pixel rounding' does not affect the editor.

  The 'Sampling' property does affect the editor, but you must close and reopen the project for it to take effect.

  These values are only applied the moment the object is created, then they're never used again. So it's impossible to use the proposed actions, because by the time you use one of these actions it's too late, the value being changed is never used.

  Workaround: use 'set period' or 'set magnitude' and apply the offset and randomness yourself. For example, set the magnitude to MyMagnitude + random(MyMagnitudeRandom).
