  Runs a solid 60 FPS in Firefox here, same as Chrome and IE9.

  Apart from that please make separate .capx files created from scratch to demonstrate separate issues, as described in how to report bugs. Otherwise it's hard to tell if the other issues are mistakes in your events or issues with C2.

  e cannot help with large projects with hundreds of events. These can take hours and hours to investigate, often with the conclusion it was simply a mistake in the events. Unfortunately as a very small team we simply cannot afford the time to do this. As above, re-create the bug in a minimal new project.

  Yep, the exporter does some stuff using all available cores to help it export quicker :)

  Sharing a .capx is usually the quickest way to get to the bottom of things like this.

  If it crashes, send it to appMobi as a bug report - hopefully they can fix it.

  Can you share a .capx?

  When the event sheet is empty it shows the tip: "Events are run from top to bottom". After the bottom of the event sheet the screen is drawn. So if you have them one way round, the object is created, the animation frame is set, then the screen is drawn. The other way round, the object is created, the screen is drawn (before the animation frame is set), then the next tick the animation frame is set. This results in a quick flash of the wrong animation frame for one tick. This is why the order of your events is important.

  I think it is likely the next release, within a week or so, will be stable. It will only contain minor bug fixes on top of r102 and no major new changes. So I would recommend starting with r102.

  To see all changes since r95, check the changelogs inbetween (r96, r97 etc)

  This has been reported several times before but we cannot really do anything about it without a way to make the problem happen every time.

  You're right, I can reproduce a crash loading a .capx from C:\. Weird!

  It's probably to do with file permissions. By default in Windows Vista or newer applications can't read in system directories like C:\ or C:\Windows. In your case I guess G:\ is a removable drive or secondary hard disk you have permission to access. I guess there must be a bug with C2 when it does not have permission - it should show an error message instead of crash. Will look in to it!

  The size of the window is the size of the device screen. It can be nearly any size at all. You cannot rely on any particular size. See supporting multiple screen sizes.

  Chrome Frame is better IMO - can be installed without admin privileges and also adds all features available in Chrome to IE 6+.

  Chrome reports in the console:

  [blocked] The page at dl.dropbox.com/u/23551572/C2/Report/bugs/WebFont/index.html ran insecure content from fonts.googleapis.com/css

  I think it's due to Dropbox's server setup. We've had other Dropbox-only problems before. It works fine in Chrome hosted on our server.

  Edit: oh, it's because Dropbox runs on https (secure), and it is not allowed to access http (non-secure) resources.
