XML for WIndows8 Apps

Well this is my most recent findings on developing windows8 html5 game using scirra.

THe normal XML plugin tries to create new ActivexObject which is not supported by windows8 apphost.

I happened to edit the generated javascript file to use winjs libraries.

Edited Code and commented out for loop where activex object is created

and added the below code

var xml = new Windows.Data.Xml.Dom.XmlDocument();

xml.loadXml(xml_string);

Also comment out the line below

this.xmlDoc.setProperty("SelectionLanguage","XPath");

Please include a update in your next release for fixing this bug for exporting to Windows8.

My changes are not 100% perfect since its changed directly in game script.

Note : Sorry for the addendum.

I used TMXImporter ,Ajax, and function plugins to load the levels.tmx files in my game and load them to a string constant.

THis worked locally while testing, but didnt render my objects in windows8.

Hence I made the changes and published it to windows market.

Request you to kindly release a new plugin for windows8 XML.

Thanks for the report & indicating the fix - this should work in the next build.

shreedharcva thank you! that helped me fix my Win8 game that also uses the TMX importer.
