Easy way to prevent clicks/taps from propagating?

Hi @enpu

Is there an easy way in Panda 2, to stop taps/clicks on objects underneath another?

Let's say I want to darken the screen and show a message, with an ok button. Do I have to manually disable all the interactive objects underneath?

Thanks in advance!

What i usually do, is make an empty container with custom hitArea that is the size of the game. All interactive items under that container won't then receive events anymore. Then put your button in top of that container.

var container = new game.Container();
container.hitArea = new game.Rectangle(game.width, game.height);
container.interactive = true;
