  AJAX was really designed for people who are already familiar with server side scripting and databases. If you don't know about that already, using the AJAX object is likely to be a very steep learning curve.

  NRABrazil, it's a reported bug, see the bugs forum. If you turn off WebGL it should work fine though!

  I found the bug, the minifier was indeed breaking the texture loading code which in turn broke alpha. Should be fixed in next build!

  I don't think there's much that can be done about this, by design the platform works to the nearest pixel only. Because you've zoomed in a long way and C2 supports floating point positions, sometimes you see a very thin gap which is less than a pixel thick.

  I might be able to revise the code but I had expected results like this. A common workaround is to move the collision box in a little bit.

  Alpha worked fine in my testing, that's odd, can you post the .capx? (Or PM it to me if you'd rather keep it private)

  Please post all your system specs! If in doubt see how to report bugs.

  Ah, I thought we were done with the whole power of two restriction years ago, but it turns out WebGL has some unusual limitations with tiled non-power-of-two textures. I guess it's because it has to work on mobiles which don't have graphics cards with the same features as desktops.

  There is a workaround, which is to stretch the texture to a power-of-two size, but it can make it look a little blurry. It's all that I can do I think though.

  Browsers blacklist bad hardware and drivers that don't work, but I guess the blacklists are not perfect and you have an unsupported setup. If you disable WebGL it should work fine with the 2D renderer, but what's your hardware? Are you sure you have the very latest drivers? If it's a crappy old integrated intel graphics chip I won't be surprised, but most recent offerings from ATI and nVidia should be fine...

  It takes a second to update to the new framerate, since it only updates the framerate once a second. I just tried it and it said 1fps, then 60fps. This is the correct behavior. Were you seeing something else?

  You can mass-import animations by dragging and dropping multiple images to the layout, or right-clicking the frames pane in the animation editor and importing either batches of files or sprite sheets in grids. Does that do what you need?

  Ah, you're right, auto-mirror and auto-flip don't work in WebGL. Will fix for next build.

  I suppose even if we set WebGL as a default, if you can still turn it off then you have the option of using the old Canvas 2D renderer with layered text. It comes at a high price though, you lose a lot of performance, so I think it's best just to consider designing your games so text is always on top.

  All expressions are listed in the floating Expressions panel when you type in an expression! This new tutorial may also help you.

  We're still working on our manual - hopefully it'll be done by the end of the year.
