Ashley specifically set out to create an event-based system so that non-programmers would be able to create games more easily.

The system is 'as it is' and I for one would not want it to become more programmer-based. The idea is you learn the system that is available, and not expect something to work as you think it should.

There are already plenty of systems out there that cater for the more programmer-minded individual.

This is a bug in your events.

On the Enemies event sheet, events 4 and 5 are checking for a direction, changing it, and the very next event changes it back.

You should make this an Else, i.e.

enemysprite direction = "right" : enemysprite set direction to "left"

Else

enemysprite direction = "left" : enemysprite set direction to "right"

This should really have been posted in the 'How Do I' section.

For reference:

The time for me from clicking the shortcut and C2 homepage appearing is a fraction of a second - too fast to even calculate.

I don't use non-standard plugins - just the defaults.

Posting this multiple times will just annoy people.

You are still not giving enough information.

Have you tried to run one of the built-in templates - a platform template for example? Does it run?

If not, then the problem is either a badly installed version of Construct 2, in which case, re-download and re-install, or it is rubbish display drivers.

If you have a problem and require help, always give as much information as possible, such as system used, browsers tried etc. Also provide the .capx that is causing the problem (if just one) so others can test it for you.

I'm using Win 7 64 bit, and the exported exe worked fine for me, although I never used minify, as I refuse to install such bug-ridden crapware as JRE in order to minify :/

Note to Ashley: Please come up with a better way than having to install JRE :)

This has already been pointed out, and yet no bug report has been posted in the Bugs section yet.

Tested on Firefox 20.0.1.

Safari hasn't been updated for over a year - that means it's way, way behind most other browser html5 implementation. I don't understand why you'd want to use it, but each to their own.

For me, your .capx is showing 1% cpu utilisation.

You should maybe check other browsers also, as AFAIK Safari for Windows is no longer being developed.

If you Google NPObject, you'll see this is a Chrome problem.

To eliminate the possibility that it is your server not supporting all relevant MIME types, you should probably post the exported link also.

Looks like Mozilla have answered everyones prayers regarding playing videos in a browser. Report HERE from The Register.

I posted about this a while back, and the situation hasn't improved. Access, at times, is ridiculously slow, to the point that I just give up. It doesn't make for a pleasant or professional experience, unfortunately.
