Have you looked and compiled the demo app that comes with Starling? A good starting point would be to modify it and play around with that. Here, all setup-stuff is already prepared.</p> <p>If that does not help, please post some real source code -- then it's easier to find out what is going wrong.</p> <p>Good luck! =) </p> http://forum.starling-framework.org/topic/addchild-works-in-classes-but-i-dont-see-them-on-screen#post-4789 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 05:23:35 +0000 MacShrike 4789@http://forum.starling-framework.org/ <p>Ls,</p> <p>a:To get myself aquinted with this speed monster called starling I wrote a small flocking routine that basically does:<br /> new Startling(main, stage)<br /> main:<br /> init<br /> new flock(nrbirds)<br /> flock:<br /> init flock<br /> for (nbirds) -&gt; new(bird)<br /> bird:<br /> init bird / birdimage<br /> addchild(birdimage)</p> <p>They add, but dont show on stage. I tried passing the stage thru the constructors to bird.. Flash doesnt like that.<br /> Tried making a Public Stage var. Doesnt work.</p> <p>b: all subclasses after main are using the starling.sprite as superclass.</p> <p>So i did:<br /> new Startling(main, stage)<br /> main:<br /> init<br /> new flock(nrbirds)<br /> for (nbirds)<br /> addChild(flock.coantains[nbird].birdimage)</p> <p>flock:<br /> init flock<br /> for (nbirds) -&gt; new(bird)<br /> bird:<br /> init bird / birdimage<br /> push bird into flock.contains(bird)</p> <p>now i see em onstage.</p> <p>Q: can I/how do I/ access the stage in sub classes to use addChild?<br /> Q: what am i doing wrong?<br /> Q: how the H did you get that to run so fast =)</p> <p>Highest regards,</p> <p>Mac </p>
