[r173] physics javascript failure

Problem Description

One physics object, no other objects, layout does not run and shows javascript error. This is reduced from a project I am working on. The object in this capx was the one I last added to my game and caused it to then crash on run - the error happens with both box2d and asm.js although asm.js was selected when the object was added.

Attach a Capx

Description of Capx

Project has one object only and a family that gives the object the physics behavior. Run the layout.

Edited to change the title to what it should have been!

This is simply because the asm.js version of box2d currently only supports collision polygons with a maximum of 8 points. I'm afraid you have to either use fewer points in your poly or switch back to box2dweb mode. Closing as won't fix.

OK Ashley, thanks.

Ashley, I couldn't find that info in the manual - might be worth adding if my searching isn't at fault, thanks.
