The HTML5 target

HTML5 is an emerging standard for writing web based apps.

You will need:

  • An HTML5 capable browser such as Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari or IE9.

Notes

HTML5 apps use a canvas element for graphics rendering. To change the size and layout of this canvas, you will need to modify the MonkeyGame.html and/or main.js files in the app's .build/html5 directory.

Cross domain http requests

In order for an html app to make cross domain http requests (for example, using the HttpRequest class), the request server must be correctly configured.

More information can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-origin_resource_sharing

For example, you could use php to configure the server to send the following HTTP headers:

Access-Control-Allow-Headers: origin, content-type, access-control-allow-origin
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
Access-Control-Max-Age: 86400
Allow: GET, POST, OPTIONS
