  Dual-encoding works with all wrappers as well.

  The situation is like this:

  PhoneGap support is mature and can build native apps for iOS, Android, Blackberry, Windows Phone 7 and a couple others. However it's sometimes slow, because it uses the device browser.

  CocoonJS and directCanvas are newer and still experimental, but sound should work on both. These also are much faster than PhoneGap (5-10x faster), but some features do not work because they do not directly use the device browser. They're still definitely worth checking out, though.

  Support for this isn't built-in yet, but you could try writing a plugin with the Javascript SDK.

  You just need an empty "On key pressed" event on its own in your project to block the key.

  e.g. just an empty "On spacebar pressed".

  You also need to click inside the iframe before the game will accept keyboard input, which I mentioned in another thread.

  You simply need to upload all the exported files to your host. Each host has their own system of uploading usually, so if you don't know how to upload files to your host, it's best to ask them.

  You could try uploading your game to Dropbox to give you an idea how it's done with their service: Uploading your game to Dropbox

  I have looked, and the Ubuntu Software Center does not appear to support HTML5 yet. You might have to wait until our desktop app wrapper is ready.

  You need to click in a game in an iframe before it will detect keyboard input. Maybe you need to do that?

  Our Arcade uses games in iframes too, and we have the same problem, but I think users are pretty used to clicking inside things to get the keyboard input working. (You need to click a window in your OS before it gets keyboard input, too.)

  We do not officially support self-built PhoneGap applications. I would highly recommend using PhoneGap Build and making plugins with the Javascript SDK to customise.

  I'd go with a Dictionary object. Then you have two options: use the instance variables C2 gives to every object, or use the string-based Dictionary storage (which might be useful for dynamic things).

  dhaifyy - maybe upload it to the web (e.g. Dropbox) and when you present make sure you have an internet connection and load it off the web.

  1) If you're on Windows 7 or up, you can just import WAV files to Construct 2 and it will dual-encode them to both AAC and Ogg Vorbis automatically for you. That covers all browsers. If you're on XP or Vista for licensing reasons we don't encode to AAC automatically, but you can find free tools to do it yourself. Hopefully on Windows 7 and up it's not a nightmare, it should be quite straightforward.

  1b) There's nothing you can really do about it in the Safari browser, but there are various native-app wrappers that can make iOS apps with extra features like audio working. See PhoneGap, directCanvas and CocoonJS.

  2) Have a look at Touch controls and a trick to detect input method

  Blackberry have pretty good HTML5 support with their latest devices. I've been trying it out and will write up an article if it goes well.

  Set 'sampling' to 'point' in Project Properties.
