Constructor Summary

Sprite

A Sprite object is used to display images. It may have references to Animation objects if the image to display is supposed to be animating.

Fields Summary

Functions Summary

Sprite.addAnimation (name, animation, dontPlay)

Add an animation to the sprite. If, after this operation, there is only one animation for this sprite, it will be played automatically
Sprite.alwaysDraw (toggle)

Force a sprite to get drawn every frame, disabling potential optimizations. This does not happen by default, i.e. drawing optimizations are enabled by default.
Sprite.bringToFront ()

Bring the sprite to the front of its layer. Note that if any sorting function (other than 'none') has been specified for the layer, when the sorting occurs it will override this operation
Sprite.cache ()

Draw this sprite to an off-screen canvas, then use this canvas as a source image whenever this sprite needs to be drawn again
Sprite.clone ()

Clone the sprite
Sprite.containsScreenPoint (point)

Check whether the sprite contains a given screen space point
Sprite.drawToImage (virtualPath, replace, offset, transform, compositeOperation, renderMode)

Draw a sprite to an image associated with a virtual path. The image will be stored in CPU memory. To create a WebGL texture in GPU memory, use Sprite.drawToTexture instead.
Sprite.drawToTexture (gpuTextureName, cpuTextureName)

Draw the sprite to a WebGL texture in GPU memory. Note that this is only possible if the sprite is currently on a WebGL layer.
Sprite.fadeIn (time, callback)

Fade in effect, gradually changing the opacity (alpha) of the sprite from 0 to 1. If the sprite is invisible, it is set to visible before fading in.
Sprite.fadeOut (time, callback)

Fade out effect, gradually changing the opacity (alpha) of the sprite from 1 to 0. After fading out, the sprite is set to invisible.

    Constructor Details

    Sprite

    A Sprite object is used to display images. It may have references to Animation objects if the image to display is supposed to be animating.

    string|object image (optional): The file name of an image that has previously been loaded. If falsy, a blank (white) image will be used. You can also use this constructor by passing in a single object (so just the first parameter) that contains all the sprite properties that you want to set (see remarks below for more details).

    number [layerId : = wade.defaultLayer] The id of the layer that will contain the sprite


    Remarks:
    You can also use this constructor by passing in a single object (so just the first parameter) that contains all the sprite properties that you want to set. In this case, the object structure is as follows (all fields are optional): 

    {
    type: 'Sprite',
    sortPoint: {x: number, y: number},
    layer: number,
    name: string,
    size: {x: number, y: number},
    autoResize: boolean,
    visible: boolean,
    image: string,
    imageArea: {minX: number, minY: number, maxX: number, maxY: number}
    animations: {},
    currentAnimation: string,
    pixelShader: string,
    pixelShaderUniforms: {name1: type1, name2: type2, ...},
    alwaysDraw: boolean,
    pixelPerfectMouseEvents: number (alpha threshold between 0 and 255),
    properties: {}
    }

    Where properties is a set of properties to copy into the new sprite object. Note that properties are deep-copied, and cannot contain functions or cyclical references.

    The animations object can contain any number of animations, each associated with a unique name. See the Animation documentation for more details.

    function callback (optional): A function to execute when the transition is over
    ^

    Fade out effect, gradually changing the opacity (alpha) of the sprite from 1 to 0. After fading out, the sprite is set to invisible.
