Seems to be working fine here for me with your .capx: 'standard' is pretty quick, 'brute' just a little slower. Have you tried rebooting? There might be dead pngcrush processes hanging about or something. Also, during a long export, open task manager and list processes by CPU usage - which processes are using the most CPU? I'd guess pngcrush, but good to know for sure...

It's not fully designed to support fullscreen modes to keep it simple.

For more info see the tutorial on supporting multiple screen sizes. You can probably fix it with the Anchor behavior, for example.

Performance seems to be much smoother than Phonegap from what I can tell.

Can you provide your actual framerates on PhoneGap vs. AppMobi? You can use the system expression 'fps' to show it easily. If AppMobi is somehow faster we could probably prioritise it higher, but I really doubt it is because it works the same way as PhoneGap AFAIK (just embeds a browser window in an app).

Just to make it clear: we're not going to add scripting in the forseeable future. The whole reason Construct 2 exists is to save you from programming. So adding it goes against our whole reason we made Construct 2 in the first place!

If you like programming, you can code HTML5 games in javascript entirely with free tools like Google Chrome (which has an excellent debugger) and Notepad++. It's a lot harder than doing it in Construct 2 though.

Kyatric's suggestion of using the SDK is also a good idea - you can use custom code and APIs there, and have it all integrate smoothly with events.

OK, weird UAC security restriction. Fixed for next build.

Oh, I thought you meant dragging from the project bar - seems you're right, that's odd! I'll investigate...

TELLES0808 isn't the solution to just not use the animation triggers in the platform behavior and use your events?
I'm afraid I can't offer useful advice on projects unless you reproduce problems/bugs in new empty projects.

It's not quite that simple, it has to accurately effectively to a find-all-references and rename all occurrences of the name anywhere it is used and expressions are not treated as text, they're parsed in to a tree structure, so it's certainly not as simple as a find-replace...

That's odd because I didn't change anything relating to this in r76, does it do it every time?

Works fine for me. Are you sure this only happens when running as administrator only and not when running normally? Because running as administrator gives Construct 2 more capabilities, not less!

Are you using the sprite 'initial index' property greater than 0 by the way?

By "reproduce in new .capx" I meant can you start a new project and create the issue there? It's a standard way of dealing with bugs because it makes it much easier to solve. Alternatively if you can delete everything off your project which is not related to the bug and send it to me that would be helpful.

Weishaupt I think it would be better if I just gave advanced warning in the changelog next time, heh. What you described is actually much more complicated to engineer than you might think.
