Ashley: This is the kind of things that will need a proper explanation/notice in the manual.

Could be a picking bug in the Sprite - Spawn object action.

Ashley corrected something similar for the system - create object.

This is conjecture, if Ashley takes a look around here, he will tell for sure.

Nice workaround though Sully

Using DT is a good place to start.

Also be sure to have updated your graphic cards drivers and browser.

Also be aware that some browsers work better than other.

I read the auto mirror explanation, and I tried it but I had a bug: When rotating 180 degrees with the auto mirror (or flip) on, the sprite disappeared.

(EDIT: Just checked it and the sprite is there, hasn't been destroyed or anything... It simply disappeared)

It happens when the "Preview mode" is set to "File" in the project properties.

Turn it to "HTTP" and the auto-mirror/flip will work as intended.

Flip/mirroring is done by changing the angle of the sprite.

Negative values for height and width are to "ban" from use.

There are a few samples through this "how do I section", scattered around.

Search for "negative width" you should find the topics back with a more complete answer by Ashley.

And just to add to the discussion and because I'm surprised Ash didn't link to it : last scirra's blog entry about C2 architecture and potential future for exporters.

Look on google for the keywords : "How to alpha layer Graphics Gale", or something of the like (specify the software and "alpha layer", the alpha layer IS the transparency you're looking for).

Did you manage to compile a c2 exported "c2runtime.js" file ?

I tried a quick one (my PF's demo) and it got me a lot of errors.

I guess it requires first to turn jquery into a dll. I might look deeper in it later.

If you did successfuly transformed exported projects, could you post how you did it, a kind of step/step tutorial ?

Also I'm editing the title, since it is Javascript to .exe, and not Java.

They are a system expression indeed.

Simply use WindowHeight or WindowWidth.

R62 is available for download here.

To receive an email with a direct link for future release simply check "Construct 2 new releases" when you edit your profile. Best way to keep informed as soon as there's a new version (if you check your mail often).

I see this flickering too on FireFox, for like an instant (when going left).

It makes me thing about some kind of loading delay due to the auto-mirror, as if the "other side" animations wouldn't be available in memory before the very moment you try to display it.

So, what about, in 1-1 sheet, on start of layout, trying to set mario's angle to 180 and set through all the animations, before setting him finally to the "start" animation and angle ?

Does it "correct" things up ?

If it does, but flickers at start, for the time of the startup, maybe consider displaying him as an effect, or something to "hide" the flickering. Once it is ok, simply display as intended.

I'll see if I can get a trophy for the winner but I can't promise this I'm afraid!

At worse a line in the profile maybe ? (/users/name_of_user)
