Members

alpha :Number

The opacity of the object.

Inherited From:

• PIXI.DisplayObject#alpha

Source - pixi/display/DisplayObject.js, line 65

anchor :PIXI.Point

The anchor sets the origin point of the texture. The default is 0,0 this means the texture's origin is the top left Setting than anchor to 0.5,0.5 means the textures origin is centered Setting the anchor to 1,1 would mean the textures origin points will be the bottom right corner

Inherited From:

• PIXI.Sprite#anchor

Source - pixi/display/Sprite.js, line 22

animationSpeed :Number

The speed that the MovieClip will play at. Higher is faster, lower is slower

Default Value:

• 1

Source - pixi/display/MovieClip.js, line 25

blendMode :Number

The blend mode to be applied to the sprite. Set to PIXI.blendModes.NORMAL to remove any blend mode.

Inherited From:

• PIXI.Sprite#blendMode

Default Value:

• PIXI.blendModes.NORMAL;

Source - pixi/display/Sprite.js, line 68

buttonMode :Boolean

This is used to indicate if the displayObject should display a mouse hand cursor on rollover

Inherited From:

• PIXI.DisplayObject#buttonMode

Source - pixi/display/DisplayObject.js, line 90

cacheAsBitmap :Boolean

Set if this display object is cached as a bitmap. This basically takes a snap shot of the display object as it is at that moment. It can provide a performance benefit for complex static displayObjects. To remove simply set this property to 'null'

Inherited From:

• PIXI.DisplayObject#cacheAsBitmap

Source - pixi/display/DisplayObject.js, line 436

<readonly> children :Array.<DisplayObject>

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

Type:

• Array.<DisplayObject>

Inherited From:

• PIXI.DisplayObjectContainer#children

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

<readonly> currentFrame :Number

[read-only] The MovieClips current frame index (this may not have to be a whole number)

Default Value:

• 0

Source - pixi/display/MovieClip.js, line 51

filterArea :PIXI.Rectangle

The area the filter is applied to like the hitArea this is used as more of an optimisation rather than figuring out the dimensions of the displayObject each frame you can set this rectangle

Inherited From:

• PIXI.DisplayObject#filterArea

Source - pixi/display/DisplayObject.js, line 180

filters :Array.<Filter>

Sets the filters for the displayObject. IMPORTANT: This is a webGL only feature and will be ignored by the canvas renderer. To remove filters simply set this property to 'null'

Type:

• Array.<Filter>

Inherited From:

• PIXI.DisplayObject#filters

Source - pixi/display/DisplayObject.js, line 400

height :Number

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

Source - pixi/display/Sprite.js, line 119

hitArea :PIXI.Rectangle|PIXI.Circle|PIXI.Ellipse|PIXI.Polygon

This is the defined area that will pick up mouse / touch events. It is null by default. Setting it is a neat way of optimising the hitTest function that the interactionManager will use (as it will not need to hit test all the children)

Type:

• PIXI.Rectangle | PIXI.Circle | PIXI.Ellipse | PIXI.Polygon

Inherited From:

• PIXI.DisplayObject#hitArea

Source - pixi/display/DisplayObject.js, line 81

Source - pixi/display/MovieClip.js, line 34

mask :PIXI.Graphics

Sets a mask for the displayObject. A mask is an object that limits the visibility of an object to the shape of the mask applied to it. In PIXI a regular mask must be a PIXI.Graphics object. This allows for much faster masking in canvas as it utilises shape clipping. To remove a mask, set this property to null.

Inherited From:

• PIXI.DisplayObject#mask
