    Oh that’s not the drawing surface?
  • b
    not really
  • b
    couldnt think of a better name
  • b
    ComponentNativeObject
  • b
    ?
  • b
    😄
  • b
    Well if there are all those layers, I might as well get rid of sprite group and deal with position kind of stuff at one of those levels
  • b
    well, you only have access to ComponentImpl and ComponentSurface
  • b
    the rest are core
  • b
    Sure but Impl sounds like a good place for it
  • b
    Surface typedefs FlxSprite and the Impl deals with children?
  • b
    yeah, ComponentImpl is just what ComponentBase used to be called
  • b
    Idk I’ll think about it
  • b
    Either FlxSprite or FlxGroup
  • b
    just now you dont have to up cast to get things from component, ie, no more of this: 
    cast(this, Component).width
  • b
    Yes I remember doing that often haha
  • b
    yeah, it was a pain, and indicated the heiracy was wrong
  • b
    there is still a fair amount of clean up that can now be done in all the backends because of that, but at least now its possible
  • b
    there are some gotchas, for sure
  • b
    like, a label in a button
  • b
    the button moves about with the animation
  • b
    the label doesnt, and thats because it never recieves a 
    handlePosition
    because as far as haxeui is concerned, it hasnt moved
  • b
    i could be wrong, im no expert on either, but wouldnt this backend actually make sense to be more like haxeui-kha?
  • b
    I mean, the underlying system seems verrrry similar, and it seems alot of the issues that were sorted when i wrote that backend apply here
  • b
    (again, no expert, just a gut feeling)
  • b
    Yeah it would be more like kha and less core flixel classes
  • b
    A lot of what I reimplemented is more kha-y or flash-y
  • q
    O.o Go to bed, wake up to this. This makes my soul hurt less than usual.
  • b
    im still maybe not understanding something about flixel, but it seems that "all" the backend needs to be is a FlxSprite (i know im oversimplifying and have no doubt not thought certain parts out) but in essence is that possible? And then, it should all integrate with flixel - which is something i would have expected
  • q
    I... honestly don't have the level of knowledge needed to give a good answer to your question.
