A little more info. I tried the user-created patch from this threadhttp://www.haxenme.org/community/forums/general-discussion/fps-drop...
Unfortunately it had no effect on my performance. Oddly, my B&N Nook does not exhibit this behavior.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I am now testing my game engine on my phone - an LG Optimus S. The performance is great for an older phone. I get about 30-40 fps.
The weird thing is, if I am touching the screen anywhere, the framerate drops to about 10fps. It doesn't matter where I touch the screen. Even if there's no button there, as long as my finger is touching the screen the framerate remains a slow 10fps. Once I remove my finger, the framerate resumes at the normal 30-40fps.
Has anyone else run into this? What could be causing it? Is there something I can do to eliminate this problem?

I've been working in landscape mode, but recently switched my app to portrait mode. Here's what I did
1. In application.nmml changed window orientation="landscape" to window orientation="portrait"
2. Cleaned and rebuilt my iOS app at the command line.
3. Opened the Xcode project, checked the info.plist to make sure both portrait orientations were supported
4. Xcode->run on the device.
The problem is, it works fine when it starts up, but then if the device is tilted, it will snap to a landscape orientation. Once that happens, it will only rotate between the two landscape orientations and not the portrait orientations.
It's as if the initial orientation is being set to portrait, but then somewhere along the line, the supported interface orientations are being switched back to landscape-only.
Can someone please verify this bug and give me advise on how to work around it or fix it?
Thanks!

I also use nme.Lib.getTimer() quite a bit.

I was wondering if there was a way to alter the texture coordinates in a tile or to change the size/shape of existing tiles drawn with a tilesheet without clearing and redrawing tiles.
The reason I ask is that I've noticed it seems to be rather expensive to add sprites to my view and also to redraw their contents. I was thinking that if I kept a pool of sprites off-screen and reused them, I may get some performance increase. But, I may need to alter their appearance if they have different properties. Since they all share the same texture atlas, it would just be a matter of altering the vertex and uvt coordinates and I'd have my new sprite.
Thanks!

Wow! That's awesome. I can't wait to give it a try once I get to that point in my project.

I went in to haxelib and manually deleted the hxcpp folder. I then reinstalled fresh and it works now. Thanks!

Very nice game! Love the graphics, gameplay, sound and music. It's really well-produced.
Question - on Flash the text has slight alignment problems... is this a limitation of NME's text handling?

According to the NME blog, the latest version of NME supports dynamic sound generation on SDL targets.
Is iOS an SDL target?
Are there plans to add that support to all targets?

Thank you! I'll give it a try.

Hmm... so I wrote my own comparison function and it works. Evidently, testing equality with the default == isn't kosher for objects on cpp targets.

I have an Array and I am checking to see if it contains an object before I remove it. It works fine in Flash, but on iOS Lambda.has always returns false, and Lambda.indexOf always returns -1. But, the object is contained in the array.
if (Lambda.has(items, item))
{
items.remove(item);
return true;
}
return false;
So, the item is removed in Flash, but not on iOS. Is there anyone who knows why Lambda.has does not work?

Has the application.nmml spec changed with 3.3.2 with regards to background color?
I've recently upgraded to 3.3.2 and noticed that my SWF background color is white no matter what I set in application.nmml. I'm publishing from FlashDevelop.

To what object to I addEventListener? The Lib.current.stage?

Hi! I have run into a problem on iOS whereby my game movement, based on Lib.getTimer(), will lurch forward when the application is restored from the background. My question is this: Is there a way to receive events when an application enters the background and is restored from the background? I'd like to be able to pause the game, marking the time at pause and then subtract the interval that the game was in the background.
Actually, an ideal situation would be that getTimer not advance while in the background, but I'm not sure of the ramifications of that.

You could use Tilesheet instead, which supports color. But, color does not work in Flash... so, perhaps you could use Tilesheet for all other targets.

I was previously testing the 3.3.0 beta, but switched back to 3.2.0 for production. Today I installed 3.3.0 via "haxelib upgrade."
I was running into all kinds of issues, so then I decided to reinstall from the installer from the blog post. Now everything seems right as rain.
So, when I did "haxelib upgrade" and it asked me if I wanted to change nme to 3.3.0, I'm thinking it just switched back to the beta instead of pulling down the latest version from haxelib. Am I correct?

I think I must be losing my mind. I've just upgraded haxelib to NME 3.3.0 and hxcpp 2.0.9, and well, it's rather unstable. My app just uninstalled itself after freezing up. I didn't even think this was possible. Anyone else run into this?

I have objects that move around the screen on top of a TileSheet background. The TileSheet simulates shading using the color attribute for each tile. I would like to match the moving object with the current tile so that it appears to be within the space. Is there a way to access a displayobject's color (like a ColorTransform) so I can simply set that? Would ColorTransform work the same way? I would assume that it would be more expensive to use ColorTransform.
