on events not working on sprite

[bbyford]

I'm adding a sprite in a loop, set interactive and then adding it to a container then the stage but my on events dont seem to be working, any reason why this might be happening?

let map_asset_keys = Object.keys(map_assets_json);

let length = map_asset_keys.length;
let map_assets_arr = []

for (var key in map_assets_json){

  let asset = new Sprite(Resources[key].texture);
  asset.x = map_assets_json[key].coords.x;
  asset.y = map_assets_json[key].coords.y;
  asset.zIndex = length;
  asset.setInteractive = true;
  asset.cursor = 'pointer';

  asset.on('pointerdown', function(){alert()})
  asset.tint = 0x550000;

  map_assets_arr.push(asset);

  --length;
}

let map_group = Groups.group(map_assets_arr);
map_group.x = 0;
map_group.y = 0;
map_group.scale = new PIXI.Point(map_assets_scale * pixel_scale, map_assets_scale * pixel_scale);
map_group.setInteractive = true;
        
app.stage.addChild(map_group);

Ok, so i simply can't get anything to register an event after having it previously working fine. Is there something global I might have done that stops these from happening?

asset.interactive = true;

Rather than your setInteractive property

AHHHHHHHHH thank you. I'm such a dick. Sometimes you just hit your head against a problem, and sometimes you've created that problem and can't see it

Haha np!

If there's one thing I've learnt in programming: we're all dicks at one stage or another!
