3.3.2 - Build 8670 - September 9, 2015

Build 8670 - September 9, 2015

Stencyl requires Java 8 from now on. A Java 8 JRE comes bundled on Windows and Linux. On Mac, you can get the latest Java from Oracle.

- Enhancement: Context hinting: places where a block will probably cause an error will be highlighted in red when placing the block.
- Enhancement: All changes to palette are dynamic. Don't need to refresh behavior after adding game attributes, for example.
- Enhancement: Engine extensions can be added without closing game.

- Fix: Can't select animations other than the first
- Fix Regression: StackOverflowError in Layer.getActorsAtPoint
- Fix: don't show generic error dialog if another error dialog has been shown already
- Fix: catch generic Android build failures
- Fix: Fixed sync'd anims repeating too early.
- Fix: Exporting sprite uses old format, can't import back in.
- Fix: Updated NanoHTTPD to fix server-caused errors when running html5 games.
- Fix: NPE when looking for Xcode.
- Internal: Block palette and events are stored as xml. Later we'll let them be completely customized or replaced.

Thank you Jon! 

Is it just me or does Stencyl compile like SUPER FAST after the new b8670? love it!
But it still doesn't print?

Glad you're enjoying the speed. Still working on making it faster.

What doesn't print?

I am SO GLAD that you guys make the compiling process faster since (at least for me) this was always a big problem. I get distracted pretty quickly and most of the time it happened when I had to wait for the game to compile...

I ment this: http://community.stencyl.com/index.php/topic,43321.msg243177.html
As far as I can tell it is still an issue

it doesnt print on console and has an error every time you search int he block code editor, i think has more bugs that the older one !!

Is doesn't do anything for me since I can simply click it away but maybe you guys can see something in it

Please, if you can in the future release a Mac version with JRE 8 already embedded.

I have found another error, this time with the all beloved block, witch now throws out this error:

Code: [Select]

Events for 'Support_Item': openfl.display.BitmapData has no field copy
from scripts.ActorEvents_2552
line: 155
columns: 471-523
and has to be replaced with this block: as a workaround....any ideas about why this happens?

This doesn't work in build 8627 ... if it helps.

What exactly do you mean? Does the bug not appear or does the workaround not "fix it"/help?

Okay next error (I completely understand that after the last, very big update).
Here you can't navigate the events anymore unless you reopen the behaviour.
It can be triggered by chance (I don't know the reason here) or if you simply create a custom event.

Here is the error message:

Sorry I meant the bug exists in build 8627, the workaround works

Yeah I'm running into this issue too, apart from not being able to compile a Windows build. Any ideas on how to solve these issues?
