  sergyperov - I can't comment. I thought the majority of Android devices would support this.

  KennyOops - yes, you will need to configure Access-Control-Allow-Origin in the server's HTTP response for it to work.

  0plus1 - yes, it should work out of the box, and even with minifying the script.

  hollowthreat - you need to be able to reproduce it in a minimal project, following all the guidelines, to get it even properly investigated. Maybe start a new thread. r167.2 just went out and I think given everyone else in this thread says it's working I'd be happy to make it a stable release, but please do try to properly demonstrate the problem if you think something really is wrong otherwise it might not make the stable update.

  Looks like it affects all object's "Compare opacity" conditions, not just Text. (Note your report appears to refer to the "Set opacity" action, but I could only see that the "Compare opacity" condition was wrong.) Thanks, should be fixed in the next build!

  Closing this bug as won't fix: we listen for the standards-compliant devicemotion and deviceorientation events. If the device does not pass these events to the browser there is nothing we can do, it is a problem with either the device, or the browser.

  This just looks like a mistake in your events. Note object sizes are allowed to be negative if the object has been mirrored/flipped, and the viewport edges are allowed to be negative if they are outside the layout bounds. If you think either the viewport or object size expressions are returning the wrong value, it should be very easy to prove: just make an empty project displaying the values and describe what the value is vs. what you expect. If you can't do that, it's probably because everything in Construct 2 is working just fine and you made a mistake yourself.

  Note tinypng uses lossy compression by reducing the image to 256 colors, which affects the display quality of your game. Construct 2 will do the same for you automatically if you choose PNG-8 in the image format dialog. You shouldn't need to use any external tools.

  Closing as not a bug: newly created instances do not really exist until the end of the next top-level event (or trigger). Add 'wait 0 seconds' between the 'set text' actions and it works.

  Can you come up with specific steps to reproduce? I'm not sure exactly what to do to reproduce the problem when you say "Using the mouse I dragged the frames in the animation toolbar many times so that they would all become before/after other frames". Also, please attach a .capx.

  You cannot use the AJAX object, only Sprites 'Load image from URL'. You don't need to do anything other than give it the URL, but you must have permission to load images from the server (look up the Access-Control-Allow-Origin HTTP header).

  I think the SHIELD might not actually support the gamepad plugin and just map buttons to keyboard keys. You might be able to find more information in their documentation.

  Wsoukkachang - it looks like you don't have any 'Sync object' actions. So you are not in fact syncing anything. 'Sync instance variable' only works when you are already syncing the object.

  Just compare the WindowWidth and WindowHeight expressions.

  damainman - please post a new thread if it's unrelated to this topic. Did you try pressing 'Reset dialogs' in Preferences?

  hollowthreat - we have other users saying it's significantly faster, and the code is definitely more efficient, so it's strange that you say it's slower. How much difference is it and how consistent is it across different browsers/platforms? What does the profiler say in r165 vs r167? That should give a clear indication of the where the difference is if it's big.
