Phaser. Stage

new Stage(game)

The Stage controls root level display objects upon which everything is displayed. It also handles browser visibility handling and the pausing due to loss of focus.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
game Phaser.Game

Game reference to the currently running game.
Source - core/Stage.js, line 16

Extends

Members

alpha :Number

The opacity of the object.

Inherited From:
Source - pixi/display/DisplayObject.js, line 65

backgroundColor :number|string

Gets and sets the background color of the stage. The color can be given as a number: 0xff0000 or a hex string: '#ff0000'

Type:
  • number | string
Source - core/Stage.js, line 342

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:
Source - pixi/display/DisplayObject.js, line 366

<readonly> children :Array.<DisplayObject>

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

Type:
Inherited From:
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 46

disableVisibilityChange :boolean

By default if the browser tab loses focus the game will pause. You can stop that behaviour by setting this property to true.

Default Value:
  • false
Source - core/Stage.js, line 35

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 41

filterArea :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:
Source - pixi/display/DisplayObject.js, line 183

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:
Source - pixi/display/DisplayObject.js, line 328

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:
Source - pixi/display/DisplayObjectContainer.js, line 61

hitArea :Rectangle|Circle|Ellipse|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:
  • Rectangle | Circle | Ellipse | Polygon
Inherited From:
Source - pixi/display/DisplayObject.js, line 81

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:
Source - pixi/display/DisplayObject.js, line 303

name :string

The name of this object.

Default Value:
  • _stage_root
Source - core/Stage.js, line 29

Inherited From:
Source - pixi/display/DisplayObject.js, line 98

pivot :Point

The pivot point of the displayObject that it rotates around

Inherited From:
Source - pixi/display/DisplayObject.js, line 49

position :Point

The coordinate of the object relative to the local coordinates of the parent.

Inherited From:
Source - pixi/display/DisplayObject.js, line 14

renderable :Boolean

The scale factor of the object.

Inherited From:
Source - pixi/display/DisplayObject.js, line 22

smoothed :boolean

Enable or disable texture smoothing for all objects on this Stage. Only works for bitmap/image textures. Smoothing is enabled by default. Set to true to smooth all sprites rendered on this Stage, or false to disable smoothing (great for pixel art)

Source - core/Stage.js, line 365

<readonly> stage :PIXI.Stage

[read-only] The stage the display object is connected to, or undefined if it is not connected to the stage.

Inherited From:
Source - pixi/display/DisplayObject.js, line 107

transformCallback :function

The transform callback is an optional callback that if set will be called at the end of the updateTransform method and sent two parameters: This Display Objects worldTransform matrix and its parents transform matrix. Both are PIXI.Matrix object types. The matrix are passed by reference and can be modified directly without needing to return them. This ability allows you to check any of the matrix values and perform actions such as clamping scale or limiting rotation, regardless of the parent transforms.

Inherited From:

The rotation of the Display Object, in radians, based on the world transform. This value is updated at the end of updateTransform and takes all parent transforms into account.

Inherited From:
