Type:

• number | string

Source - core/Stage.js, line 366

<readonly> children :Array.<DisplayObject>

[read-only] The array of children of this container.

Type:

• Array.<DisplayObject>

• PIXI.DisplayObjectContainer#children

Source - pixi/display/DisplayObjectContainer.js, line 17

currentRenderOrderID :number

Reset each frame, keeps a count of the total number of objects updated.

Source - core/Stage.js, line 65

disableVisibilityChange :boolean

By default if the browser tab loses focus the game will pause.
You can stop that behavior by setting this property to true.
Note that the browser can still elect to pause your game if it wishes to do so,
for example swapping to another browser tab. This will cause the RAF callback to halt,
effectively pausing your game, even though no in-game pause event is triggered if you enable this property.

Source - core/Stage.js, line 40

exists :boolean

If exists is true the Stage and all children are updated, otherwise it is skipped.

Default Value:

• true

Source - core/Stage.js, line 46

game :Phaser.Game

A reference to the currently running Game.

Source - core/Stage.js, line 21

height :Number

The height of the displayObjectContainer, setting this will actually modify the scale to achieve the value set

Inherited From:

• PIXI.DisplayObjectContainer#height

Source - pixi/display/DisplayObjectContainer.js, line 600

ignoreChildInput :Boolean

If ignoreChildInput is false it will allow this objects children to be considered as valid for Input events.

If this property is true then the children will not be considered as valid for Input events.

Note that this property isn't recursive: only immediate children are influenced, it doesn't scan further down.

Inherited From:

• PIXI.DisplayObjectContainer#ignoreChildInput

name :string

The name of this object.

Default Value:

Source - core/Stage.js, line 386

width :Number

The width of the displayObjectContainer, setting this will actually modify the scale to achieve the value set
