I'm just wondering if it's possible to make a sprite get hidden behind a fully transparent sprite (or rectangle). The sprite should be able to be only partially hidden behind the transparent sprite, creating an effect like this:

Is there a way to do this? For C++ targets.

I'm also having this problem and it's driving me crazy. I want the game to always use the same vertical resolution, then use the ratio of the screen to determine the horizontal resolution (in landscape mode). Then the game should be zoomed in/out to fit the full screen. Since the initial resolution from flash.Lib.current.stage.stageWidth is a little less than what it should be because of the Android navigation bar that auto-hides, the game has a thin black bar on the left and right sides of the screen. I then try to resize the game to full screen shortly after it starts (since the ratio will be correct then), but I've not been able to do this without breaking something.

The closest I've come to solving this is by first calling "FlxG.scaleMode = new StageSizeScaleMode();" shortly after the game starts, but then FlxG.width and FlxG.height will be wrong (with the screen resolution I think), so I hacked a way to change just FlxG.width and FlxG.height to the values of FlxG.camera.width and FlxG.camera.height (which for some reason are correct). FlxG.resizeGame() would not work like I wanted, the game would not be zoomed to fit the screen.

This seemed to work, but has an issue. If I quit the game via Android navigation bar, and open it again (so the game resumes), FlxG.width and FlxG.height will have the screen resolution dimensions, so the positioning of elements will be incorrect (since I use FlxG.width and FlxG.height to position things).

@PXshadow Yes I think UDP is necessary, and even then I'm not sure how well I'll be able to mask lag issues with this particular game. Thanks.

Awesome, thanks! I had considered MpHx, but I'm not sure since it seems to have some lag issues and doesn't seem stable yet. But I may give it a go.

I want to make the mobile version of G-Switch 3 with an option for playing online between mobile devices, by local wi-fi at least.

I have no experience with online multiplayer, I just read some general info, but I'm not sure where to start. NugServer seemed like a good, simple option, but it seems that it's not available to download anymore.

This is an action game, so I think UDP is necessary. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Will do, thanks :)

Is there a simple way to get the system language on Android and iOS? For Flash I use "flash.system.Capabilities.language", but I haven't found a way to do that for mobile without creating an extension.

Just thought I'd share my latest Flash game made with HaxeFlixel, G-Switch 3! Mobile versions coming soon.

Available on my game site, Serius Games, sponsor site TwoPlayerGames.org, Newgrounds and Kongregate.

Be sure to try out the local multiplayer mode with friends, it's great fun :)

I guess I need to update OpenFL then... thanks!
