Do I need to pass Main?

#1

I am looking at drawing things in other classes, do I have to pass Main, which extends sprite, to these classes in order to do so?

Ive currently got a tileRender class which contains this:

public function new(main:Main,passedPosition:Point){

tilesheetCanvas = new Sprite();
main.addChild(tilesheetCanvas);

}

Seems like an odd and inefficient way of handlign this, is there a way to draw to the canvas directly?

I think you can just use Lib.current.stage?

#3 
class Main extends Sprite 
    {
        //This could be a class that inherits sprite. 
        private var currentState: State;
        public function new() 
        {
            super();
            this.currentState = new State();
            addChild(this.currentState);      
        }
    }

class State extends Sprite {
 private var something: Sprite;
 public function new() {
   super();
   this.something = new Sprite();
   // Will be displayed from main.
   addChild(this.something);    
 }
}

edit: Hope this clears things up :stuck_out_tongue:

So make the new class I want to draw with extend sprite, then do addchild from main when creating it. I will try it out, thanks very much for the help.

Another quick question, can these child states also have child states?

I’m pretty sure you can nest it as deep as you’d like :stuck_out_tongue:
