Timeline audio tracks; Web adverts; Lots more updates.
I know this is early, but I would love to know how to get audio working in the timelines. I have found that if I drag the sound into the timeline bar, it gets added. No playback occurs in pressing play or running it on the timeline. what am I missing?
Another subtle issue to look out for is that sound will not play before user input. So if you have a timeline properly setup to play sound, but you just play it on start of layout. The sound won't be played, there should always be some user input before playback. A single mouse click is enough.
I forgot the most important part!
The Audio Plugin needs to be part of the project! The timeline is using it under the hood.
Two things.
Playback will not work in the editor.
At runtime you need to make sure the audio is preloaded before playing the timeline.

Hey, Construct team?
Being able to start play at specific points and/or being able scrub the timeline to hear the audio is essential to being able to sync motion with sound. Every professional program that has a timeline-like interface is able to do this. Without it, It's about as useful as drawing paper that needs developing fluid to see the lines you put down
I love your product and I've been using it for years and will probably continue doing so, but this is a prime example of the disconnect between developer and userbase that I've been hearing about. This is like asking for a shoehorn and getting a box containing a single loafer, a trumpet and being told it it's by design and can do what we want if we use the bell of the instrument correctly.
It's REALLY hard to convince my friends to give construct a try when it seems like the developers don't understand what we need.
