septeven I'm not sure what you mean - OnPropertyChanged is fired once only when a specific property is changed, you filter out the ones you want by comparing the name of the property that was changed.

Also, it would be great if you'd try to not create too many different categories.

The SDK documentation recommends re-using existing categories. I would also emphasise this, it makes the insert object dialog messy if everyone makes their own category.

You can read more about WebGL in the manual Technology section and this blog post on HTML5 performance. Enabling WebGL can help your game run 2-3x faster so it's definitely a good idea to have it on.

No mobile browsers currently support WebGL which is a shame. So it won't work with PhoneGap. As for Apple, they cite security concerns as a reason not to support WebGL, but really I think it's because it could allow HTML5 apps to compete with native apps in their app store, which they make money from.

Invisible objects have a very small performance impact. Usually it's ignorable and you won't see any difference in FPS if you destroy invisible objects or not. However if you have *loads* of invisible objects - 99 complete levels worth of objects is loads! - this could cause a severe slowdown. It might be what's causing Firefox to choke. I would highly recommend you break everything out in to layouts, that's what they're for.

I'll try to get those missing expressions in a future build - the compo runs for quite a long time so hopefully it won't be a problem. The workaround is simple though, just set a global variable whenever you set the layer angle, and you can retrieve the angle from the global variable.

Which browser are you using? Browsers don't have great audio support at the moment so there's not much we can do. Try some other browsers and see if they work any better.

It's not a bug, you need to make sure the parent web page has the following tag on it:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge,chrome=IE8" />

Otherwise if the parent page forces IE9 to render in IE8 document mode, it forces all iframes to use the same mode which breaks HTML5 games (since IE8 doesn't support HTML5). C2's exported HTML uses that tag but it's overridden if placed in an iframe. Can you try adding that tag to your page and let me know if it fixes it?
