SpriteBatch undefined

[arcbox]

Hey everyone,

 

I'm trying to use SpriteBatch for optimization, and I'm initializing it like this:

 

spriteBatch = new Phaser.SpriteBatch(game, this);

 

But I get the following error on that line:

 

"Uncaught TypeError: undefined is not a function"

 

Am I initializing the spritebatch incorrectly? I would like to avoid game.add if possible.

 

Thanks!

Why do you not want to use game.add? (or game.make), it handles the references properly for you.

 

But anyway I would guess the problem is that 'this' (in your SpriteBatch constructor) isn't of the required type. What does it equal? It needs to be a Group, or a DisplayObjectContainer at the least. Failing that post the actual line number the error occurs on (assuming its raised within phaser.js and not your own game )

I was googling how to add a SpriteBatch via game.add... Guess I'll look into the source :-)

 

It's

game.add.spriteBatch(parent, name, addToStage)

I think a phaser sprite batch example under the sprites section in examples would be helpful.
