That is correct - the Preload Art setting enables you to defer asset loading for behaviors like Animate and Change Image rather than using Change Attribute + Timer.

if you already use the change attribute trick then this will not help you other then animations.

maybe i don't see much of a difference because most of my actors use the timer and change attribute image method for animations , but still , loading times got bigger , a result i did not expect from

For example - i have an actor flying round that runs on an energy source - when energy attribute reaches zero - acceleration is locked to zero - however currently the ship can still fly

in your mouse constrains try this for x:

and three attributes: year = 2013 months = 12 days = 20.

in your mouse constrains try this for x:

just putting in an actor with a crosshair picture and giving it 2 constrain rules shows up fine in gsviewer - however in html5 when i move the mouse the actor appears as if it was relevant to the orig

you could set an attribute to a certain value when it is contact with the ground and then have the rule say if attribute is true (meaning touching ground) and rotation greater than whatever then destr

Create a game.attribute that's a real number.

Let's say that the value of the attribute is 2

Here's a possible work around for the HTML5 version. You could have an invisible actor called mouse pointer (or something). Constrain this actor to the mouse x and y with camera offsets as shown in th
