after i updated to r239 from r233

some of my .capx files loaded fine but after previewing them and coming back to layout design, the

layout designer is completely black, not showing any objects,

ot it has been comproised showing some objects 'greyed'

as i made some changes and saved my project (its a .capx file) im now stuck since i cant load this capx file in version 23, hence why i recommend not to update to the latest version.

using win7 sp1, 32 bit version.

im sure its in the editor

i have the same problems in all of my .capx projects

what if you set to a font thats doesn't come pre-installed?

not even a third party plugin that can deal with this problem?

hii want to create a generic ui for a game and then load levels/new games in in a window in behind of this gui,

i want the gui to control the flow of the entire game so that other people can make levels/games without having to know the logic behind the game,

what is the best way to do this with using several different c2 projects? iframe's?

$troublesum hi im using your storage plugin and its been working great so far however it cannot seem to parse this json utf8 japanese string:

"{\"win\":\"勝利\",\"bet\":\"賭け\",\"balance\":\"バランス\",\"bmenu\":\"メニュー\",\"paytable\":\"ペイテーブル\",\"bet_one\":\"ベット1\",\"bet_max\":\"ベットマックス\",\"spin\":\"スピン\"}"

when i debug the plugin in c2 i see that it sliced the string up in parts for each character.

any idea on how to solve my problem?

is there a new version of plugin etc?

my argument is that localstorage and session storage aren't the same thing,

excerpt from scirra manual:

"Local vs. Session storage

The WebStorage object allows data to be stored in two places: Local storage and Session storage.

Local storage is permanent (until the user clears their cache). If the user comes back the next day, local storage still has the saved data.

Session storage only lasts with the current browser session. If the user comes back the next day, session storage is empty again."

hence they removed functionality and claims it's an improvement.

i couldnt care less if the replaced the plugin with one that has same functionality, but this wasn't the case.

and to build functionality that is part of the html5 stack isn't really productive.

althogh that might work technically, you kinda miss the point of html5 webstorage ,

as when the browser is closed (and you cannot do any error handling) all session storage is removed as the session dies when browser is closed.localstorage however your data isn't removed.

my point is that scirra removed support for 1 plugin in favour of one without the same functionality.

as the old webstorage plugin wore perfectly for me , i'm trying to figure out why it was removed if not the same functionality is offered.

why store values?

i need to pass data between 2 apps without query strings.

i need to store data since another app will read the value t so no global variable will work.

benefits,I beg to differ,

If i want a login session to only last a session, meaning when user exits browser the session should be gone.

how can this be solved with localstorage global variables?

since the webstorage plugin was replaced by localstorage plugin

how do i store session variables with localstorage plugin?

yes i only want these variables to last for a session.

i found the error the subevent wasnt 'attached' properly in the event viewer

causing the sub-event to stand freely and run 60 times a second.
