  Huh, are you sure you have access to the file? It's not in some system directory or something? When you save everything is written to a .capx.tmp file, then at the end it deletes the .capx file and renames the .capx.tmp file to just .capx. This should make it impossible for an incomplete .capx file to ever be saved.

  When you see that error, browse to where the file is saved. There should be yourfile.capx.tmp in that directory. Is there also yourfile.capx still there? It should be deleted by that point, and the rename will fail if Construct 2 cannot delete the original .capx file.

  lerp() doesn't work with angles, because angles are cyclical but lerp is linear. Classic had anglelerp(), I'll see if I can add that.

  Everyone really needs to support touch controls in their games. It's not so much our fault as most game developers work on a keyboard and mouse and don't add touch controls. It's a shame because they lose out: loads of people browse the web on touchscreen devices so they're making their games unplayable for a lot of people. Do you think there's something we can do to encourage more people to add touch controls? It's mentioned in the manual (but who reads that? ;))

  Also I think Tom was going to add a special category for touch-enabled games.

  Ah, I see what you mean. OK, should be fixed in next build.

  I'm afraid I don't think this can be fixed: the Pin behavior is already coded to run *after* the events so it gets the latest position of the object. As you can see from this modified example there is no lag at all if you only use a single pin:

  http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15217362/nopinlag.capx

  The problem comes from using two behaviors at once. Construct 2 does not run behaviors in any particular order. So in this case the pin behaviors run in the wrong order and the second pin updates before the first, so it is always one frame behind. I don't think there's any good fix for this - it's how the engine has always worked. It's easy to workaround with events though, the Pin behavior is pretty simple. I'm afraid this appears to be the only solution. If you do it all by events you have exact control over the order it happens in, anyway.

  I've fixed this for the next build to allow groups with the same name in different sheets to have independent activation states.

  Thanks, should be fixed in the next build - they revert to ordinary "text" for IE9 so it doesn't freeze.

  I'm going to close this as a hardware/driver issue on your end, I'm afraid I don't think this is a Construct 2 problem.

  It looks like your .capx file is corrupt. Can you remember what you were doing immediately before this happened? Did your computer crash while saving?

  Appears just fine here. It works for everyone else so it must be an issue with Firefox on your end.

  ranma, the Audio object already uses PhoneGap's Media API to play sounds. Within PhoneGap, all 'play' actions are redirected to the thing you linked me to. And everyone reports nothing plays. So I don't know what to do, I've read other people have had problems with it though.
