GameSalad Arcade and Tables

Are tables cool for HTML5 games? I assumed so, because when I tested my game in Safari using the viewer all was peachy... But when I published my game to the Arcade... my game can't seem to fetch my table entries to be displayed like it could in the viewer... so is it a bug or aren't table supported for the GS Arcade?

@CobraBlade I think its a bug, my tables wont work on gamesalad arcade but works fine on the viewer and on my phone. It used to work before the latest stable release.
Thanks for the reply @Icebox1910. Glad it's just a bug that has crept into the latest build. Guess it's off to file a bug report.
There's definitely a bug with arcade and TableColSum, but perhaps with other things too.
Perhaps tables aren't accessible at all in the Arcade... It seems like it. Did a quick search of bugs before starting a new one and it looks like it has already been reported: http://bugs.gamesalad.com/show_bug.cgi?id=582
Sounds pretty similar...
When I was making my tic-tac-toe, everything worked great with tables except the tableColSum. Once I replaced those, everything was fine. So tables do work in Arcade, but some table functions do not.
@Armelline The only table function I use is tableCellValue. But that seems like a pretty key function... So this could be a more recent issue.
Pretty worrying if that's all you're using. I've personally had no problem with that function in the past, when publishing to Arcade. Perhaps make a support ticket? They could help you pin down the exact bug that's affecting your game, maybe.
