  Thanks for the report, I've worked with appMobi and solved the issue with preloading for the next build.

  If you have other issues with directCanvas you should contact appMobi about them - I don't have any way to debug or view error messages happening in directCanvas, so they need to work out the problem and then usually they contact me with the necessary code fix which I can apply.

  I think you have to duplicate the subevents for each branch (created vs. use existing). Hopefully this will be easier in future when we add function features built-in.

  I am sorry that this causes difficult compatibility problems, but sometimes we have to make breaking changes. It's better we change it now than leave it in the long run with a known crash.

  You need to contact either appMobi or Ludei about directCanvas or CocoonJS problems - we can't fix them if the problem lies in their code. You can find contact information on their websites.

  This is by design. Sprites and Tiled Background objects all share the same set of images, for memory efficiency. I'm afraid I don't think we will change this.

  Can you share your .capx? I cannot test if any fixes for this work without it.

  That's odd, the 'Set web font' action is coded to ignore redundant calls such as when setting every tick. But I guess using a potentially slow action 60 times a second is partially your fault as well!

  I'm afraid we only support building via the appMobi XDK as described in the tutorial I linked to earlier. I've heard from appMobi their open source code is somewhat out of date now and missing many bug fixes that we depend on. Closing as not supported.

  Oops, you're right. Should be fixed in next build.

  This may be by design, can you share a .capx? The parallax origin is actually in the middle of the window (e.g. 320,240 for a 640x480 game), so scrolling to 0,0 introduces some parallax.

  Closing, please contact the developer about issues with third party plugins - Scirra can't help with them.

  I can't see any difference between preview and export in Chrome (please remember to say which browser you're using), and either way it appears to look fine.

  I think this is just a linear sampling artefact, so closing. You might want to experiment with the sampling or pixel rounding project properties, or simply avoid scaling the objects (note you're scaling width 136 -> 100 which generally looks worse than staying at 100% scale).

  This sounds like a bug in one of your Firefox addons. Does removing your addons and using a clean profile fix it?

  But that means the issue is not reproduced any more - it seems likely there is a bug here, the point is you must be able to reproduce it using official plugins and behaviors only to rule out mistakes in third party code causing the issue. Are you able to do that?

  What other WebGL features do you mean specifically? Things like raycasting are academically interesting, but not yet practical due to the impractical performance requirements. Also, most other WebGL features relate to 3D games, so aren't really applicable to 2D games.
