   Hmm... those Stats don't work for me. As soon as I put the line

   addChild(new Stats());

   into my code (like the author does it in his intro book) I get a null pointer exception in

   nativeStage = Starling.current.nativeStage;

   I already use this first application with the newest starling framework version from github so the nativeStage should be accesible. And it seems so because the assignment works in the Startup class source but not in Stats class.

   I tested it in seceral browsers. Now I've run out of ideas.

   You may be doing it too soon in your code, when "Starling.current" is not available! Try to do it in the constructor of your "Game" class.

   Hi Daniel,

   thanks a lot, now it works great. I only tried it after "new Starling(Game, stage);" but this was a dead end, too.
   So good to know this Starling book is for free because it feels very unfinished. This could frustrate beginners. But better than nothing, of course. By the way this is a good motivation to write another book or tutorial, vielleicht sogar in Deutsch.

   Hey Maru, thanks for the port.

   On my local version, I've updated the UI to also include the DPI of the device.

   In a day and age where multiscreen development is important, I felt it was good information.
   It also helped me figure out why my screen layout was acting funky on device vs desktop (I had the wrong DPI set for the simulator).

   Here's my copy: http://pastebin.com/BvSNnTb5 (expires in 1 month)

   **edit**
   As another note, it might be useful to show the stage size as well.

   Robbson,
   es ist leider ebensowenig Deutsch, aber zumindest enthält das neue Wiki eine zusätzliche Starling-Anleitung:

   http://wiki.starling-framework.org/manual/start

   It's still lacking a lot of information, but I hope I (and others who want to help out) can take this as the scaffold for an extensive documentation on Starling! =)

   For those working with the new contentScaleFacor (which is great by the way) you probably don't want the stats box to scale too. At least, I didn't. So I've added this to the beginning of the init() function:

   // Don't bother increasing size with contentScaleFactor
   this.scaleX = 1 / Starling.contentScaleFactor;
   this.scaleY = 1 / Starling.contentScaleFactor;

   

   Maybe scaling the whole object isn't the nicest way but it avoids changing the rest of the code. That way it doesn't get in the way of other additions or changes you might have made. Plus, this is only for development so let's not spend ages rewriting things
