  Closing as not enough information provided to reproduce.

  We made a lot of changes for directCanvas in r100. I think the best thing to do would be to wait for r100 to be released then try again.

  Testing from preview is really straightforward, you just need any pages you AJAX request to respond with the HTTP header (as documented:

  Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *

  This will allow AJAX requests to work from localhost and is a lot easier in the long run than trying to publish to your site repeatedly. When you're done though, you should remove that header for security reasons.

  Maybe you hadn't saved over the .capx file. If you save the project file as .capx again, doesn't it go down in size?

  Once you redeem the code sent to you by email, you can download your c2license.txt file. Just put it in the install directory or My Documents and restart Construct 2, and it should launch as the licensed version.

  Save it as a folder project. Then you can browse the folder and see which individual files are taking up the most space.

  I don't understand - instance variables are perfect for things like health. They are kept independently for each instance, and an event like "If health < 0, destroy sprite" will individually destroy sprites which run out of health, and never affect all of them at once.

  Are you sure there isn't a mistake in the tutorial, or a mistake in your events?

  Don't you just need to upload your zip, press 'Test', press 'Zip' next to 'Documents' then enter the URL? If it gives an error try re-uploading your zip, maybe it got corrupt uploading.

  I'm curious to know how the shader SDK will work and if we can write our own shaders from scratch in GLSL. Also what version of GLSL is implemented?

  Effects are just a .xml file with some metadata, and a .fx file with the GLSL code to run. So it's really easy to make new effects.

  WebGL is based on OpenGL ES 2.0 which IIRC is comparable to desktop GLSL version 1.2, but not identical. You have to write shaders for the ES variant rather than desktop since that is what WebGL uses.

  Can you reproduce this? What steps did you follow? Does it happen every time?

  Please see how to report bugs. Can you post, step by step, the exact sequence of things you do that cause this error?

  It will be a beta release, there's no way we could justify calling it stable with such a huge amount of code changes.

  The CocoonJS launcher for iOS has an option to launch a game from a URL, just like the Android launcher does, but it's hidden behind a menu. You don't have to go and sync document files if you don't want to. I did try it though and it seemed to work fine.

  Tagging ludei since they might want to add something.

  FYI I made a couple of tweaks cleaning up the renderer for the next build. Not directly related but it may help. Let me know if anything changes in r100.
