Hello HaxeFlixel Devs,
It's been quite a while since I've posted here. I've had some of my greatest moments using haxeflixel and talking to the community. People like Omnivore , Claudio, Squidly, CharlieRiot and And0 continue to inspire me by there presence and ability to use HaxeFlixel in insanely awesome ways!

That said, currently for the past few months I have stopped using haxeflixel in favor of OpenFL mainly for SVG support. Haxeflixel is still my favorite framework to build games but for a non game focused UI App/website I don't gain any benefit using HaxeFlixel over OpenFL.

If any devs are looking for a more ui focused framework and not game centric be sure to check out my underline OpenFL ui framework I use for ThinQbator called App here

If you would like to continue to follow ThinQbator's development
My Twitter DM's are open if you would like to contact me.

Good luck HaxeFlixel I can't wait to see what you'll become once you get to the latest openFL version. And when that happens I'll be sure to have my App framework have haxeflixel support for a ui, game mix!

These Lights look incredible thank you so much for source. When the new haxeflixel version comes out you should really try giving your assets some normal maps your game would look even more incredible with lights then.

Hey Guys the Dev Log has hit 1,000 views! that's incredible thank you so much for your continued support on reading.

So Right after publishing my iOS cheat sheet luck came through and we got verfied by apple for TestFlight beta testing so that's great news for us :D

I want to give just a little news feed for this app's timeline integrated with news on openfl and haxeflixel.

• Currently still waiting to get another status update on the dev version of haxeflixel that will be compatible for openfl 6
• The app has a very tight nit beta testing group but with a massive list of things to do already we won't be pushing out an open beta until those things are done so expect some more time.
• For the app being social media focused our team is looking for a good way to implement remote push notifications for mobile( IOS and android) that can integrate with our openfl-networking servers.
• Our app uses bazzisoft's openfl native text for mobile which currently supports only single line text but I was able to add multiline text support for android but not for iOS which is a bummer so currently looking for a solution.
• Issues with finding a good way to open up the camera take a picture and grab the bitmap data for both iOS and Android
• Wanted to try to move to next support but had this issue

Oh and new work in progress Ui by Scotty, Super Exciting!

I went back to an old project that used nape updated it and tried it out with drawDebug it seems to be working. Here is my current list. I'd suggest maybe trying to update haxeflixel to the latest try turning it true for a demo and see if it shows up.

So for a lot of the transitions I currently do I grab the screen and then delete the actual FlxSprites for transitions in order to keep the frame rate high on mobile. It works wonderful in Legacy but unwanted results occur during next.
and on cpp target it crashes.

I use this code for screen grabbing and setting as an FlxSprite

	 // Creating BitmapData object
var BITMAP:BitmapData = new BitmapData( FlxG.width, FlxG.height, true, 0x0 );
// Draw canvas
BITMAP.draw( FlxG.camera.canvas ); // FlxG.stage can also be used
// New FlxSprite
var screen2 = new FlxSprite();
// Loading the bitmap into the sprite
screen2.loadGraphic( BITMAP, false ); 
FlxG.state.add(screen2);

The Unofficial IOS haxeflixel BUILD Cheat Sheet

*Note Hello It's been way too Long since I've posted so sorry about that But here is a reference to future Devs Going through similar struggles with IOS, Suggested to do this by the nice people over on the HaxeFlixel Discord.

Recommended

• Mac computer (recommended with the most updated OS version)
• An IOS device (since the simulator is extremely awful and runs at 5fps)
• Registered personal or licensed ios team if you need help doing this follow this guide
• Latest version of HaxeFlixel and hxcpp 3.4.64

Go to project Directory

Next you want to get to the project directory. You could use cd commands in terminal to do so but what I enabled instead which makes it much faster is go here. mac -> icon -> System Preferences

then go to Keyboard -> Shortcuts -> Services -> scroll down and check True - New Terminal At Folder

Once you have that you should be able to right click or Command-click your project Folder and click new terminal at folder.

Command

Inside your project directory input this command into terminal.

lime build ios -Dsource-header=haxe -IPHONE_VER=9.3

Once that happens you should get an error saying somthing along the lines of needs Code Signing don't panic.
What you need to do now is go into your project export folder go to ios and open your .xcode project file

Xcode

You've successfully made it to Xcode you're through all of the hard parts, Congrats!
Now What you want to do is find your BuildTime project and double click on it

Now there is a chance that this window may be set to open project not target in this image it does

I can tell because it has the xcode icon rather than the ThinQbator icon so I want to click on it and change it.

then look at signing and change team from none to either your account listed or "Add an Account..." If you don't have an account follow this tutorial

Now once you set it up properly it should say somthing like this.

Build

now for the fun part to see your app Work!
At the top where you see Generic IOS device click on that, this should come up

Move your mouse up while on the drop down untill you see devices if you have one plugged in it should be there, click it, press the play button to the left and it should start building on your phone! It will give you a progress update in the middle section if you want to see the logs right click you application in build time the one you previously double tapped and go to "Reveal in Log".

There you have it! I hope the images helped, and this Cheat Sheet helped you :) If you're still stuck or have any questions feel free to reply back on this devlog or DM me on twitter, Cheers.

It would be

buttonname.text = "Set text";

and in order to format code on the forum you use 3 " ``` " at the top and bottom of the code

example:
.```
Code here
`` <- extra " ` " and that key to make that charachter is right above tab left side of keyboard

@vulpicula yep it does :)
