  Can I ask what your goal is? I can't think of a reason why you'd want to rotate a textbox used for entry of information.

  I'm not sure I fully understand the question, a .capx would help. Though try turning on unbounded scrolling in the layout properties.

  I think you may be overcomplicating things.

  I made an example .capx here, hopefully this helps: https://www.dropbox.com/s/aasfohmj363gm1z/rotatecontroller.capx

  What Rob said is correct. Also look at this thread to overcome resolution issues: http://www.scirra.com/forum/topic61789.html

  Nice, that seems pretty straightforward.

  My understanding was that we could just bundle DirectX with the installer? http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/windows/desktop/ee416805(v=vs.85).aspx

  I guess you can set the width and height to whatever you like. This is an IE10 on WP quirk rather than C2.

  Set the width to 800 and the height to 480 in the viewport meta of the exported index.html.

  E.g.

  <meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, minimum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no, target-densitydpi=device-dpi, width=800, height=480" />

  I noticed that GameMaker went on sale over the Christmas period on Steam. If I was an existing GameMaker customer that would have really annoyed me, to the point of migrating to other software.

  I think a static price point is the best way to set expectations and not frustrate existing users.

  jojoe great work getting animation students interested though. I nearly took the animation route, but much prefer devving games now :)

  This is a limitation of the exporter. You're going to fail lots of other certification requirements too, like properly handling audio when the user is playing music, back button functionality etc.

  I'm working on a plugin at the moment that adds the necessary functionality. ETA is probably about a week at the moment as also working on Surface optimisations.

  (ViewportLeft("Layer") + ViewportRight("Layer")) / 2

  (ViewportTop("Layer") + ViewportBottom("Layer")) / 2

  ^ That should work fine. Make sure you substitute "Layer" with your layer name.

  "Projects do not run from disk (the file:// protocol). Browser security limitations generally prevent projects from working when on disk. So we don't support this at all and it's no surprise if your project doesn't work there. Didn't you see a browser prompt telling you that? I added an alert when running on the file:// protocol that should say "upload this project before trying it"."

  Quoted from Ashley.
