Adding items to blitmasked sprite.

[mrEmpty]

Hello.

 

Say you create a sprite and are using a BlitMask on that sprite:

 

private var scrollerSprite:Sprite = new Sprite();
private var scrollerBlit:BlitMask;


scrollerBlit = new BlitMask(scrollerSprite, 0, 0, scrollerWidth, scrollerHeight, true, true, 0x000000);
scrollerBlit.wrap = true;

 

All happy. Now, let's say later on you need to add children to scrollerSprite:

 

scrollerSprite.addChild(Item);

 

That item will not appear for me, it's being masked by the BlitMask. How can I resolve this? I'm updating the mask after adding the child, but this makes no difference. Thanks.

Ignore me, had to reforce the update.

 

scrollerBlit.update(null, true);
