Also a few others things I found:

• mapping messed up on stand-alone Flash player app (latest version) too on OSX Mountain Lion.

• on OSX El Capitan (the newer version of OSX on which I tested the Firefox and Safari versions that don't detect the gamepad), the stand-alone Flash player app doesn't detect gamepad at all.

• sometimes, even on Chrome, where the mapping works fine, I have to press a button or move a stick for the gamepad to get detected. This is not ideal, because if the user has a gamepad connected, they won't know the game supports it unless they actually try to use the gamepad first. To check if a gamepad is connected, I'm checking that FlxG.gamepads.lastActive != null.

@Gama11 So I did some tests, and it turned out that the wrong mapping problem only occurred with Firefox, but only with an older version I was using, Firefox 48.0.2, on OSX Mountain Lion (an old OSX version now unsupported by Apple and most browsers). In the Haxeflixel demo, model would show up as UNKNOWN, and name as just "Controller", and the mapping problem persisted even if I changed the model manually to XINPUT. Also, on this same version of Firefox, sometimes the gamepad would only get detected if I touched a button or moved the sticks first (weird, I know).

With Google Chrome, both older Mountain Lion version and latest version on latest OSX, gamepad works fine. Shows up correctly as XINPUT, Xbox 360 Controller.

With Safari, even latest version on latest OSX, gamepad is NOT detected at all.

Same for the latest version of Firefox on latest OSX, gamepad not detected at all.

I'm not sure why Safari and latest Firefox don't detect the gamepad, but I think I'm fine with this, as long as it doesn't behave incorrectly. Again the wrong mapping thing only happens on an old obsolete version of Firefox, so it doesn't matter to me.

It's weird though that Flash behaviour changes from browser to browser. Only thing I can think of is that Chrome uses its own built-in Flash plugin, whereas Firefox and Safari use the one installed with the Adobe Installer. But they are both the same latest version, 24.0.0.221.

Update: I tried on Windows and it works fine. Perhaps it's the X360 Mac drivers. Weird.

I'm using Flash. Gamepad doesn't seem to work at all on HTML5.

Physical buttons are not mapped to the right IDs. On top of that, some buttons stay permanently in a pressed state.

Is there any specific information I can give you?

I'm using haxeflixel 4.2.0, openfl 3.6.1, lime 2.9.1.

I tried implementing gamepad support in my project but for some reason the mapping is all messed up.

Same thing happens in the official demo, so it's not my project.

I'm using an Xbox 360 controller.

It's weird because I remember at some point in the past the demo did work for me (perhaps it was a different HaxeFlixel version, I can't remember).

The test app for the drivers I'm using works just fine.

I've seen other people on the google group having this problem, but found no solution.

Is anyone else here having this problem?

While debugging my project, I noticed that the memory usage goes up and up at about 1 MB every ten seconds, until the garbage collector kicks in and clears it up.

I tried to find for the cause in my code but the problem is still there. So I tried creating a completely empty project, and I saw that there's the same problem there too. Of course this is in debug mode, the only mode where you can see debug stats.

First of all I'm not sure why on the stand-alone Flash Player, it starts at a baseline of ~20 MB, whereas on Chrome, it's about 50 MB. But in both cases, both with the stand-alone player and Chrome, the memory keeps going up until the GC kicks in, then it goes back to baseline.

This is in a completely empty project.

I'm not sure if this is "normal", or if it's a problem in my environment or something. Or if this happens only in debug mode. Can you guys please shed some light on this?

It was the world bounds indeed, hadn't thought of that, thanks.

Is there a straightforward way to do particle collision with screen sides? I haven't found one, so I tried adding two offscreen sprites with immovable = true as "screen walls", but since they are out of the screen the collisions don't work. Is there any flag to change this?

Thanks. Does any workaround that I can add in the game come to mind, like listening to those events from the game itself?

Gamepad works great so far on HTML5, but one thing I noticed is that it doesn't detect when the gamepad is unplugged. FlxG.gamepads.numActiveGamepads is still "1" even after it's unplugged and there are no gamepads plugged in. The only way to let it know there's no gamepad is to restart the game. It's a shame because it would be nice to update the UI based on this. Is this a known bug, and is there any workarounds?

I have PRERENDERED_ICON set to true in my Project.xml, to remove the glossy overlay on the iOS icon, but it doesn't seem to be working. And if I open the project with XCode to check the flag, it is set to false. I'm using flixel 4.2.0 and lime 2.9.1 (latest flixel-compatible version). I'm not sure if it's a lime issue or what.

One workaround is to set the flag manually on XCode before release, but still, unless it's just me, it's a bug.
