  Hmm, I guess the format of metro apps changed from the consumer preview to the release preview. Thanks for the report, I'll try to get it fixed for the next release.

  I think I answered this in the other thread - you just need to put the project in a public folder, not a private one, like the tutorial advises.

  — - it looks like you've uploaded to a private folder. If you follow how to upload your game to dropbox it notes how you need to upload to a public folder otherwise the game won't work. It still won't work if you upload to a private folder and get a public link for index.html, because it will only make index.html available and not any of the other many files required for the game to work. If you have further problems please link us to your exported project and start a new thread because I think the issue is different to the original one in this thread.

  Direct COM access is not possible in HTML5. Unless you want to use Gamepads (for which there's the Gamepad plugin beta), you may have to use a different tool to gain this kind of low-level access.

  This is a nice idea. I've added it to the todo list, but please note we already have a very long work queue so it may be a while before we get round to it!

  Are you making a cross-domain request? Some browsers don't support that, and mobile browsers tend to be behind desktop browsers.

  Audio is fine so long as you use PhoneGap, appMobi or CocoonJS to wrap your app. However in the Safari browser you can only play one sound at a time and it can only play audio on a user input event, e.g. "On touch".

  This is by design: due to a breaking change to fix a bug in parallaxing, you can't use WindowWidth/2 and WindowHeight/2 to refer to the middle of the screen any more. The new correct way to do this is the new viewport system expressions:

  (ViewportLeft("Layer") + ViewportRight("Layer")) / 2

  (ViewportTop("Layer") + ViewportBottom("Layer")) / 2

  What browser does the TV use? Most TVs probably do not have good enough hardware to run games anyway...

  1. There is no limit. Can you link to your game so we can see if we can find what's broken?

  2. Construct 2 removes all unreferenced images. So if the file is still there it is still used somewhere in your project. Don't delete it, you'll break the project! Try looking for it in the Project Bar and make sure it is deleted from there.

  3. I'm not sure what you're asking, but Construct 2 games automatically work offline, you don't need to do anything special to make it work offline.

  We have improvements to the image/animation editor on the todo list. Hopefuly things will improve soon!

  naelian - it is recommended to stay below 8 collision points for performance reasons. Using too many (your example showed over 20) can cause slowdowns.

  You could try disabling the solid behavior on the solid objects.

  Try one of these tutorials:

  How to export to CocoonJS (recommended for best performance)

  How to make native phone apps with PhoneGap

  Alternatively just try uploading to Dropbox and visit the game URL in the Android browser.

  If this was possible, it's generally very annoying for visitors to lose complete control of their mouse, so I would not want to add support for it. However sqiddster's solution should work fine.
