[Flashcoders] hitTestPoint hit-ing on invisible objects

2010-03-11 Thread Stan Vassilev
(host.hitTestPoint(50, 50, true)); // true, expected child.visible = false; trace(host.hitTestPoint(50, 50, true)); // true, .. huh? So... Why is hitTestPoint not respecting child visibility? Does anyone know a solution to this issue? Regards, Stan Vassilev

But with the Flex compiler and framework coming for free, and haXe not being 100% compatible with AS3 (as before mtasc wasn't 100% compat too but the situation was different), I've yet to see a benefit to using it. haXe is not only Flash. You can use the same language to develop the

Well it's not :) In Flash 8 it can be possible by drawing making it opaque, drawing it and sampling it (maybe) but that, I've not tried. You can pass the bg color from HTML as a parameter and set it as well. And with two tags, yes this means total of 4 copies of the bg color per flash

If you have 2 VMs supporting 2 different byte-codes (AS2 and AS3) then you really have 2 products and only the branding (Macromedia Flash) makes them similar. The renderer both VM use is still the same (there are no two renderers), also each VM has separate API but both share a lot of code
