Thanks! I will use spritefonts from now on to avoid this.

BTW, I managed to find a possible reason for the problem. If any part of a text box overlaps any part of another text box, it seems like it makes one of them invisible. I managed to fix my problem by getting rid of overlaps. But if spritefonts give better performance, that's reason enough to use them.

I've been having a strange problem when publishing my game for Android with XDK / Crosswalk.

Everything seems fine except a couple of text labels on my main page don't show up. They do in the emulator but once I compile and download to my device they go away.

Just wondering if anyone else has seen this and what it might be. The font is Arial Narrow / 28 which I use many other places without a problem. Anyone have any idea why this might happen?

I'm trying to make an underwater scene with layer 0 a tiled background for the sky and layer 1 a tiled background for the water.

However, transparency does not seem to be working on layer 1 so I don't see the sky above the water line, just the color white.

Is there a setting I need to make transparency work or do I need to use sprites for the water?

Thanks for the quick reply!

Working through the tutorial and got a javascript error when hitting play.

I saved the project and exited thinking that might clear it. But when I went to reload I got an error saying:

Failed to open project:

.......

Cannot find object texture file 'TiledBackground.png' in the project file.

.......

I tried opening file in TextPad but it looks to be binary. Same with backup file. Is there a way to recover this file or do I have to start over from scratch?
