Hey everyone!
I can’t seem to get any expert advice on the Flashkit forums regarding this issue, so I thought I might try here.
Though I have more problems with getObjectsUnderPoint() than this, I’ll address each problem one step at a time.
Let’s say I have a class called Game, which is attached as the movie document class. Game has children called Enemy and EnvironWidget. Both Enemy and EnvironWidgets are movieclips that have squiggly vector graphics in them.
In Game, I have:
addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,showMeCollisi ons);
private function showMeCollisions(e:MouseEvent):void{
trace(stage.getObjectsUnderPoint(new Point(mouseX,mouseY)));
}
When I click **EnvironWidget **and trace the resulting array, I get [object EnvironWidget]. Great! just as I expected. but if I do the same on Enemy, I get [object Shape]. What’s happening?
According to the documentation, the method getObjectsUnderPoint() should return **ALL **children that’s under the point specified. So if it were to faithfully follow this spec, I’d expect clicking on EnvironWidget to return [object EnvironWidget],[object Shape], and clicking on Enemy to return [object Enemy],[object Shape]. But obviously it isn’t. What’s happening?
Thanks for any help!
Jay.
