  It doesn't support sharing images yet, just text and URLs.

  Does this work when used in a web/browser-based game, or does it only work in native apps?

  Thanks, it'll work fine locally in the browser, I just open up a small separate window to run the preview in.

  I couldn't get url parameters in the remote preview to work, but for now I'm fine

  Perfect, thanks! (I only wish you could change the settings on the fly instead of restarting construct, but that's for another post : )

  Does anyone know if there's a way to pass variables in the URL in the preview window? When uploading to my server I can pass parameters using the Browser.QueryParam("variable") method this works well, but I can't test this in the preview windows as the URL can't be edited. Does anyone know a workaround without uploading every build to my server?

  Aha, so strings should never have quotation marks around them when setting them?

  Hi, thanks for your reply.

  I made an example using the endless runner template:

  dropbox.com/s/9sqvdlocg32qz ... g.c3p?dl=0

  If you change the Set Animation to "playerA", the animation works, but setting it to selectedPlayer (the global string variable with "playerA" value) it fails.

  Edit: can't post urls yet, so try after .com/ please paste s/9sqvdlocg32qzkn/animationBug.c3p?dl=0

  Hi, I'm trying to set the animation of a sprite based on a global variable. I've set up a Player sprite with an animation called "playerA".

  I've set a Global String SelectedPlayer = "playerA", and try to use this On Start on Layout like this:

  Player Set animation to SelectedPlayer, but this is not working.

  If I do Set animation to "playerA" it works correctly, but I need to set this dynamically via variables.

  If I alert the SelectedPlayer string it says "playerA", so the variable is available and correct. Is this a bug?
