  • Even with a short tab name like "Layout 1", there is a much bigger area to click on the tab to select it than to close it. The X is pretty small and so should actually be difficult to click - like the famously tiny small X button on ads that people complain about being hard to close. How is it possible to repeatedly accidentally click a small button? I don't understand this at all, can someone explain?

  • Browsers restrict audio playback until the user interacts with the page, in order to prevent random web pages annoying you with audio ads and such.

    You can play audio in 'Start of layout', but it won't actually be heard until the first click or touch on the page.

    There's more information in the "Autoplay restrictions" section of the Audio manual page.

  • nothing happens when browser invoke download is triggered

    See the warning by 'Invoke download' in the manual. It only works in actual browsers.

    Downloading is a browser feature and depends on the browser UI. Note that mobile apps don't run in browsers (there is no address bar etc), so the download feature isn't available there. Consider using the Share plugin to share the file instead.

  • By "next beta cycle" I mean "the first beta release after the next stable release". We aim to minimise changes in the run-up to a stable release to ensure a smooth release.

  • I have another issue with transparency and 3D Objects, but only when I use the "Fog" effect.

    This is a different issue to the one originally discussed in this thread. It's covered in the tutorial Using 3D in Construct under "Transparency and fog", and in the latest beta the "Foggy outbreak" project has been updated to work correctly.

  • Chromium-based browsers like Chrome and Edge support saving to a folder. Currently Firefox and Safari don't support it yet.

    I'd strongly recommend just using the browser - the NW.js editor builds are basically deprecated, no longer developed, probably have a bunch of bugs that don't happen in the browser, and providing you use a Chromium-based browser no longer does anything much that browsers can't do now.

  • You shouldn't need to simulate mouse input to do this. You can make clicking an object call a function, and then call the function instead of simulating input, to do the same thing as if the object was clicked.

  • See Icons & Splash in the manual - specifically the splash part, as that's the first thing shown when the app starts.

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • Are you sure that's what you want? It will reload the page and so restart the project. Only the hash can be changed without reloading.

  • Windows Phone was discontinued years ago, so not much point trying to publish for that... but you can still package up web exports and list them in the Microsoft Store with PWABuilder.

  • Advanced Minify renames pretty much everything in the JavaScript code. However providing you follow the manual guide on writing code for advanced minification, it won't change how it runs at all, which usually means you don't have to worry about exactly what it renames.

  • I have several tests involving Drawing Canvas, including some pretty complex ones, and they all work fine for me in r283. Usually bugs involve some very specific set of circumstances, but unless we know what those are, it's impossible to do anything about it. That's why we need people reporting issues to co-operate and follow those guidelines to make sure the problem can be fixed.
