I mean there is editor.construct.net/beta

I think it always redirects to the latest beta. Sadly if you install a beta release the release will be locked (like editor.construct.net/r145) and you have to reinstall it if you don't want to update it again every time. Why doesn't it install the /beta link?

When there are multiple enemies you likely have to use a foreach loop. Inside the loop you can access the variables normally like enemy.variable1

enemy.ObjectTypeName

And what if I have a Mac, and Xcode does not work? How can I test the game on all devices?

Well, you´ll have to find a few people to test and cross your fingers until the problem is fixed. Or yolo it entirely and just hope it will work, but I´d not do that.

It says right there that you cannot solve it, it´s a bug by apple that they have to solve.

On that note, the entire process for apple is so stupid, as far as I care they can shove it somewhere dark.

Just for fun, here is an iphone emulator running on a virtual mac running on windows.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I don't think you can do this. Easiest would be to have the player on it's own layer.

EDIT: wait you have the player on his own layer? Where do you apply the effect on?

and now that I've saved all the projects I'm working on I can't go back to the stable release because it won't let me open those projects.

Unless you did things not possible in the old version, you can manually edit the project to be opened again. I actually went ahead and tried the new tutorial feature for that :P.

It works for everything. The layout is running behind a loading screen, so you can wait for anything you want to be done before you hide the loading screen.

What is the right load / pre-load action I need to use use in order to tell the layout that it is FINISHED loading?

That depends on what you do. For example, if you have a loop running "on start of layout, create 1000 sprites" you wait until that loop is done, then it´s "loaded"

You create a new file (array), fill in all your values in the editor, load the file into an array with AJAX, then get a random row from the array and load the attached image. I´ll make you a little project file for it, give me a minute.
