Haxe

is it possible that the error come from the Haxe Extensions?

let me see if creating a new project will help

yup even a new project will throw that error

most likely reason is that you aren't running the latest ceramic <@157354464297091072>

you can do asset reloading in ceramic can't you?

could that be explained a bit? I wonder if it is possible to reload haxeui xmls 🤔

This, I don't know, depends if haxeui is capable of updating UI from XML data at runtime or if that has to be processed by a macro. <@385014891750096896> will be able to answer that 😄

its processed by macro... it can also be processed at runtime, but i dont think its going to be as simple as "oh, this will just work"... for example, the macro that processes the xml, will also create typed vars of named components... that aint gonna work at runtime

technically not a deal breaker, but i think you get used to "myButton" automatically being a member var, then you change it to "myButton2" in the xml and no only is myButton still there, myButton2 wouldnt be

Anyway <@151104106973495296>, if you want to try hot reload on something more simple, like an image, in your scene's preload(), you add `watchDirectory()`:

```haxe
    override function preload() {

        assets.watchDirectory();

        assets.add(Images.SOME_IMAGE);

    }
```

Then in the code where you use that image, you can wrap it into an `autorun()`:

```haxe
var quad = new Quad();
autorun(() -> {
    quad.texture = assets.texture(Images.SOME_IMAGE);
});
```

If you target `web`, be sure to enable the `electron` plugin because that's a requirement to make hot reload work on that target

Hey there, new Ceramic release with plenty of small things! https://github.com/ceramic-engine/ceramic/releases/tag/v1.2.0

I was curious if I wanted to use Spine art for the game how would you guys approach the maps? assuming its a sidescroller style game
