Outside C2 - index.html:

I added the html/javascript-lines below after exporting the project:

<img src="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/31151399/Construct2/forum/passVarViaId/screenShotIndexHtml.png" border="0" />

Inside C2: The TextBox in C2 has the ID myTextBoxInC2

aridale: Sorry, have forgotten it - I did't thought on that.

It complains about the missing image that gets drawn on the canvas of the plugin.

copy the following image in the export folder or replace it with an own (in C2 open the 'image-loading-dialog')

canvas2image.png

Wishy: I haven't implemented anything about jpg - hope that causes the error and that it's not a browser-"timeout"-error or something similar.. <img src="smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0" align="middle">

Wishy -Textsaving: Yes, I recognized that with the "Text"-object too. Is this a problem? I suppose C2 handles the Text-object a little different when using canvas2d or WebGL renderer - or this comes perhaps directly from the renderer.. (I haven't implemented anything for the renderering of text in the plugin.)

ok.. for the old ones.. <img src="smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0" align="middle">

example for r80.2 and newer

Change it in the "Project settings" - "First layout" (after click on the projectname on the right side..) <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Sorry, this is not possible.

The id-property is a new feature in r85.. (see the 'Adds' for r85)

Got asked for an example. Here it is..

example capx (r85) (you have to change the path to your webserver)

score-php script (without the php-E-Mail-sending routine)

Have fun, Joe7 <img src="smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0" align="middle">

tnewhook: Nope. Isn't implemented, it's a very simple plugin. Possible with "normal" arrays?

[Edit]

tnewhook: Random array has a "New size" action. <img src="smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Thanks ranma for the tip.

HowTo - Preview and use custom-javascript-functions written in a scriptfile:

(Local)-preview is still working all the time - but under the circumstance that the Scripfile is 'online' (- eg: Path: dl.dropbox.com/u/31151399/Construct2/Examples/callGoogleMaps/myScripts.js).

I know that this is not nice and not userfriendly but on the other hand I think it's not the biggest problem to save in the scriptfile in a dropboxfolder. (capx)

'Hack' together HTML-outside-C2 and C2:

I've only played a litte bit with that but with the new ID-Property for TextBoxes this could be possible - I suppose. (forumposts+capx)

Perhaps those two 'hidden features' make the life for now a little bit easier.. <img src="smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0" align="middle">

The Ajax-Plugin should be perfect for that purpose. How do I-faqs - "Ajax"

[Edit]Topicname 'Saving variables locally'? Didn't you write yout want to store the variables on your server? The Plugin above is for local storage - Ajax for storing on the server..

Pode: I think I've fixed this problem now and can look at the next ones.. Thanks for your helpfulness. Your future plugin looks awesome.. <img src="smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Updated to v 1.4: WebGL hopefully fixed

Next step: Support for mobile devices.. <img src="smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

[Edit]Seems that Canvas.toDataURL is broken for Android (2.x)-devices - code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail

I suppose this causes the blank images. I've tried to implement a workaround for them (http://code.google.com/p/todataurl-png-js/) but the translationtime for the saving is much too long - I think waiting for a good Webkit-Androidimplementation makes more sense - or anybody knows a better way..

Wishy: Awesome App. On desktop-browsers the saving should work. <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />
