Yeah, CC has some memory leak issues, there's one in particular that's something to do with the image editor. I get around it by closing and reopening CC periodically as well.

I'm guessing that Ashley just hasn't implemented it yet, then.

Hmm. Maybe it doesn't work on all devices. Maybe every tick try setting a text object to windowwidth and windowheight to see what the problem is?

Use compare values, if windowwidth>windowheight it's landscape, else it's portrait.

As far as I know, awesomium has yet to implement mac support though they have announced they'll be implementing it.

I think what you want are families. They're basically a group of objects that acts like an object itself, meaning you can also give the family a variable, resulting in all of the group's objects getting that variable as well.

That way you can check the variable for a bunch of objects with one condition.

An idea I had was to use the sprite bank and array plugins, dividing the area of the layout at runtime in a grid (by basically checking if environmentsprite x/y is within a square, then looping through all the grid sections in the layout) then saving all the objects in each section of the grid via the sprite bank plugin as a JSON string into a cell in the array.

Then you can compare the location of the player and each time they move out of a grid section, create and destroy objects that are in/out of range.

I haven't tried this yet, and it might be more complicated than it sounds, but it seems like it should work.

Yeah, keep in mind that the 1st gen ipad only has a mere 256mb of ram that's used simultaneously by the os, cocoonjs, images and sounds (which take a lot more space in ram than they do on disk because they have to be decompressed), so it's not much to work with!

Another issue is that cocoonjs doesn't yet support retina mode on iOS devices, if that is in fact what you're running. They've announced it's coming in an update though.
