Not wishing to panic, but PANIC :(

I test my entry in the emulator, everything is fine.

I export it to HTML5 and load it to Netlify and I get an error, I host it myself and get the same 'Unhandled Promise Rejection: ReferenceError: Can't find variable: g_axH' error and it won't start.

I removed the Gamee plugin from the game and it hosted fine, I added it back in with NO events, and get the same error.

I am using R157 of C3 and Chrome 75.0.3770.100

How can I get this entry in if I can't get the HTML5 hosted? I'd anticipate that even the zipped file will have the error so it wouldn't be testable.

But then Ashley, Tom and the Scirra staff can't eat this week. If you can never afford the cost, perhaps an alternative like Corona is viable, but its not quite as easy as Construct 3.

(Or, run Construct 2 and miss out on all the new goodness)

Never mind, it appears to be an issue with Safari on the Mac, under Chrome it ran just fine.

I left the post in case others run into the same issue.

I seem to run into an issue where the game runs off to the left of the main window. Its the second time its done it and I can't figure out why.

My layout and viewport size is 480 x 854

Thoughts?

Per Ashley on this post...

Mobile web browsers actually prevent any audio playback until the first touch. After that sound can play at any time, but music is still limited to only being started in touches. There is no workaround in the browser, it's a limitation to stop websites annoying you with sound. If you build an APK, it doesn't have the restriction.

I do believe that this isn't possible, I think that there's a requirement that means a key press (interaction) has to occur before music will play.

I will see if I can find it documented.

One other thing, I can't seem to get any of these to work on an iPhone - do you know if its compatible? Most of my efforts are mobile directed so its a dealbreaker :)

(Generally I use Chrome for remote previews but it just hangs)

Yes, largely it made sense, I especially like the instance variables as I expect I will use them quite extensively.

I followed the tutorial, and while it worked out the box, I did have one issue that I experienced in my first attempts.

The window in your tutorial was nicely placed and aligned. Mine wasn't...

The first image is the placement of the HTML Element, with only the parameters set as instructed in the tutorial.

When I run it, I get this somewhat runaway window. With research I saw some CSS clip commands, but I'm not sure thats what I want.

My Output.

Fengist - Wow!

I can't thank you enough for the time you spent both writing the replies and putting up the tutorial. It is truly appreciated. Now I'll go and see what I can absorb from it!

You rock.

Thank you

Thanks folks,

Fengist, thats so helpful! I figured the HTML Element would do it, but I just didn't get a lot of it. I tried just adding the text, but I think I'll give it another go as it is a 'clean' solution imho.

Appreciate the info.

I am pulling my hair out trying to create a way to scroll some text!

I have what is a NEWS feed. Each line can be 3 lines of text or 143 lines of text, and 1 or many items. These are held in a SQL database which I read in.

• I have tried loading an iFrame but while it is ALMOST perfect, for some inexplicable reason, iFrame doesn't support scroll bars! That would have been perfect otherwise. So iFrame can't be used.
• Text box was a close second but they don't support scroll bars either (directly)
• Sprite Font also doesn't allow scrolling. I can create a tall object but scrolling it I think could be tricky based on varied lengths.
• HTML Elements looked promising, but I'll confess I couldn't figure out how to relatively easily use it.

Any input?
