Construct 3 r222

Notes

This release brings a new capability to the Audio object, allowing you to play sounds from a URL. This is done with the new Add remote URL action, which essentially allows you to give a name to a URL. This name can then be used with the "by name" actions, e.g. Play (by name), Preload (by name) and so on, which then work using that URL. Note as with importing audio to Construct, the audio at the URL must be in WebM Opus format to support playback on all platforms. You can use other formats, but they may not play everywhere since support depends on the browser/platform. The Voice Recorder example also now uses this feature to play back the recording you just made, so you can check that out for an example of the feature.

There's also a few other smaller improvements in this release, such as ensuring 'Recreate initial objects' picks the created instances, and using the volume parameter for previewing audio sounds in Play actions. Some other general usability improvements have also been added, such as also displaying the project name for folder projects in the recent projects list.

We also have a big batch of bug fixes, particularly focused on the still relatively new scene graph feature. We'll now begin moving towards a stable release in a few week's time, so expect a couple of rounds of further bug fixes in the next releases as we aim to stabilise this release cycle.
