SpriteBatch interactive

[zarstar]

Is it normal that Sprites inside a SpriteBatch can't be interactive?

I also tried to add a SpriteBatch in a DisplayObjectContainer for interactivity, but it doesn't work.

 

Do you have any idea?

Do you mean the sprite batch as the displayObjectContainer or every single sprite that is in it?!

the SpriteBatch as the DisplayObjectContainer.
It's a subclass of DisplayObject so it should work, but it doesn't.

The problem is that if you add it in another container it still doesn't work.

Yup,

 

spriteBatch is not interactive.

 

Explaination here (same as for tinting - speed)

if you set it like this which is the correct way to use it on a normal sprite, the spriteBatch is not interactive.

var container = new PIXI.SpriteBatch();container.setInteractive(true);                    container.click = function(){        alert('action');             };

You could alter the code and make it interactive.

But the purpose of SpriteBatch is super fast rendering of many objects and to achieve that, everything else was sacrificed.

I solved using an overlay trasparent layer with buttons.

It takes more time to create it, but buttons have alpha = 0, so they aren't rendered.

 

Thank you guys for your support!

However I have the same problem another time, but this time would be too expensive to create an overlay transparent layer.
So how could I change manually the PIXI code to let a SpriteBatch be interactive?

 

Or, better, I need something like the HTML "map tag"...
