Public Properties

backgroundColor : number | string

Gets and sets the background color of the stage. The color can be given as a number: 0xff0000 or a hex string: '#ff0000'

Type

• number | string

Source code: core/Stage.js (Line 366)

[readonly] children : Array.<DisplayObject>

[read-only] The array of children of this container.

Type

• Array.<DisplayObject>

Inherited From

• PIXI.DisplayObjectContainer#children

Source code: pixi/display/DisplayObjectContainer.js (Line 17)

currentRenderOrderID : number

Reset each frame, keeps a count of the total number of objects updated.

Source code: core/Stage.js (Line 65)

disableVisibilityChange : boolean

By default if the browser tab loses focus the game will pause. You can stop that behavior by setting this property to true. Note that the browser can still elect to pause your game if it wishes to do so, for example swapping to another browser tab. This will cause the RAF callback to halt, effectively pausing your game, even though no in-game pause event is triggered if you enable this property.

Source code: core/Stage.js (Line 40)

exists : boolean

If exists is true the Stage and all children are updated, otherwise it is skipped.

Default Value

• true

Source code: core/Stage.js (Line 46)

game : Phaser.Game

A reference to the currently running Game.

Source code: core/Stage.js (Line 21)

height : number

The height of the displayObjectContainer, setting this will actually modify the scale to achieve the value set

Inherited From

• PIXI.DisplayObjectContainer#height

Source code: pixi/display/DisplayObjectContainer.js (Line 72)

ignoreChildInput : boolean

If ignoreChildInput is false it will allow this objects children to be considered as valid for Input events.

If this property is true then the children will not be considered as valid for Input events.

Note that this property isn't recursive: only immediate children are influenced, it doesn't scan further down.

• PIXI.DisplayObjectContainer#ignoreChildInput

Source code: pixi/display/DisplayObjectContainer.js (Line 26)

name : string

The name of this object.

Default Value

• _stage_root

Source code: core/Stage.js (Line 29)

smoothed : boolean

Enable or disable texture smoothing for all objects on this Stage. Only works for bitmap/image textures. Smoothing is enabled by default. Set to true to smooth all sprites rendered on this Stage, or false to disable smoothing (great for pixel art)

Source code: core/Stage.js (Line 386)

width : number

The width of the displayObjectContainer, setting this will actually modify the scale to achieve the value set
