Thanks megmut. I had thought about similar ideas to some of your suggestions. I was hoping that there may be different, easier solutions. I actually peaked into Pixi.js code, and I see that it explicitly specify that the click event is not fired unless the Graphics object is a closed shape. Would it be fairly easy to draw shapes along the path using PIXI.mesh.Rope object? Is that the right way to use it? I haven't tried it yet, because I only found that object literary about an hour ago. Also while researching, I found this link about animating an object along a path. I am hoping that I can come up with some kind of hit detection code along a path using those functions as templates, which I think is basically your final suggestion. So if I need to detect a click, I could draw a circle or square centering that click point, then see if that shape makes a contact with paths. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17083580/i-want-to-do-animation-of-an-object-along-a-particular-path

Hello. I am very new to PIXI, so please bare with me. I have been in search of good API for my game. The game uses a map which contains tiled images as well as a bunch of path on the screen. Think Google Map, except a lot simpler. I was able to use PIXI to implement the map background where it scrolls and loads tiled map images as needed. I was also able to draw paths onto the map. Now the problem is that I cannot figure out how to interact with those paths. I used PIXI.Graphics to create and draw a path. I applied mouse events to it. But no event is fired. I was able to get the even to fire if I made the graphic into closed path will fill. But unfortunately that will not work for my purpose. Is there any way to accomplish this? Any way to interact with just a path (could be complex paths with multiple segments and/or curves) rather than enclosing shape? Thanks in advance!
