TPorter64, not sure but are you sure you're not just missing a "Trigger once" condition? See this tutorial.

You can already export to lots of mobile platforms with PhoneGap Build. We're working on some performance issues though.

FredQ, any reason you're not just using PhoneGap Build? It's literally 10x easier and was designed to avoid all this hassle.

It's based off how Classic did it. Since it's possible to write a shader that changed opacity 0 to something else (making the object visible), it should still be drawn so you can see the effect of the shader. However I'm not sure if there are any shaders which can actually do that. So it's kind of a philosophical point. If you mean "don't draw the object at all", make it invisible. Opacity 0 means "draw the object in such a way that (by default) it is not visible".

It sounds like a problem on PhoneGap's side. Maybe go talk to them about it. Also, check your config.xml file is properly formatted and doesn't have any weird characters in it.

Sound should work in PhoneGap projects exported from the latest beta (r87). However there have been some more problems reported with it so hopefully those can be sorted out in the next build.

0 opacity still draws the object, which has an effect on performance, but nothing visually appears.

Invisible skips drawing the object at all which is faster. So instead of setting 0 opacity, set the object invisible.

Firefox 12 has overtaken Chrome in our benchmarks.

I know we've traditionally always said to use Chrome because it's fastest, but Firefox 12 is really fast and beats Chrome in several places. So for pure performance Firefox 12 is probably the best now - however, for other qualities like smoothness and audio support, Chrome still does a bit better I think.

Does the family have the same name as a folder? If so, it's a known and reported bug in r87 beta, it should be fixed in the next release. The workaround is to rename the folder.

Let me know how you find Windows Phone 7, I'm curious to know how it works compared to Android and iOS.
