(this is on 2.2 i dont know if this happens on other relases)
i was trying the joints stuff on scene designer to learn about it because i didnt found a real tutorial
but then i found some of bugs that make it practically useless for example
i made a hinge joint and now sometimes i cant delete it and when i make for example a sliding joint after the hinge joint i CANT EDIT sliding joint  data  because it appears the data of the hinge joint ::) (on that inspector thing) and never goes

i dont want to annoy jon and company(maybe they have a lot of work right now) but i think i needed to  share this so this gets fixed one day

Thanks for posting about this, I'll look into this one!

Don't worry about posting about bugs, it's actually great to do so :P.

I faced the same bug when I tried to use joints. I've got no idea how to use joints in this version of Stencyl.

Agreed. Joints are essentially broken in this release. Adding a sliding joint to an actor will make the actor not load in the game. Glitches after placement of any joint on actors.

I am using the current version of Stencyl 2.2.0 (b502) as of this posting and am finding whenever I "Add Sliding Joint" I get this ActionScript Error.

Please fix this! I can't remove joints from scenes at all.

Sometimes when I add and remove joints, a scene editor tab refuses to close. I end up having to restart Stencyl, and when I do that the joins I have removed come back. The only way to avoid this problem is to delete the actors to which the joints are connected.

Just to note (as I been struck with joint related bugs myself) you can always remove joints from the scene XML file if the interface in the editor doesn't work.

I'll look into this one tomorrow.  It's a good idea to post your logs in the meantime since its most likely a java error happening and I can fix it faster.

You can remove the joint through the XML file incase you run into this again to save yourself some time.  This will be fixed for 3.0 though.
