*sigh* Title pretty much says it all.
Grab the latest code from here:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/2wjtz3mhjjjngbr/Skybox.zip
If you run it now you should see a nice rotating skybox with a square image dumped in the middle (this was a sanity check as I couldn’t get anything to show).
If you now comment out line 25 in game.lua (the one that disables clipping, IE using the container), and re-run it, I only see that square image in the middle, skybox is gone.
The only code different for the two things are in libs/skybox.lua, starting from line 26:
[lua] – Create ‘self’ (either a container or group)
local self
if params.clip and params.clip == true then
self = display.newContainer( width, height )
self.anchorX = 0.5
self.anchorY = 0.5
self.clip = true
else
self = display.newGroup()
self.clip = false
end
if params.parent then params.parent:insert( self ) ; end
self.x = x
self.y = y[/lua]
So when the clip value is set in game.lua, it runs the part that creates self as a container, and when it is set to false or not included, it runs the part that creates self as a group. Apart from that, everything else runs identically. Except… no images.
Can anyone else confirm this or not? I had 1 or 2 times when the images *did* show up in groups, but was never able to replicate it, and I’m going a bit mad…
This was using daily build 2013.2090 FWIW.
