    The only problem is that you have to put that check on every event handler. The exact thing MSGhero is hoping to avoid.
  • q
    So I'll be doing that and hoping and praying for something better šŸ˜¦
  • q
    And, yes, I agree - it's really not fun or good or pretty code.
  • q
    And probably innefficient and a million other whingy things to put here.
  • b
    Mouse handling is done in a plugin which isnā€™t tied to a state
  • q
    Okay. Could we somehow chain it to the update cycle?
  • b
    Not without modifying flixel
  • q
    No way to manually call the mouse handler's "update" (or whatever) step, huh?
  • q
    Bummer šŸ˜¦
  • b
    Nah, itā€™s run every frame before any state gets updated
  • b
    The core issue is that thereā€™s some kind of parent-child relationship that needs to be established for this kind of thing, and flixel doesnā€™t have parents
  • q
    What is the idiomatic way to open a "sub-ui" in haxeui anyway? That would be the other way around it and then we just slap "caveat emptor, known workaround, yes we're sorry" all over it.
  • q
    Define "parent". Because states are parent/child and groups are parent/child.
  • b
    I think you would just add a new UI over the first one
  • b
    The child has no access to the parent
  • q
    Child... what?
  • b
    It could have multiple parents
  • b
    It has no idea if itā€™s part of the current state
  • q
    Okay, you mean sprites in general.
  • q
    Well, I guess FlxObjects, at a base level.
  • q
    Substates interact with their parents directly and have a pointer. That's the only one I know OTOH, and only because I stared at it this morning.
  • q
    That doesn't help when you want FlxObjects, however. I know.
  • b
    Mmk I think I figured it out
  • b
    Just need to find time to code...
  • q
    could we... Use whether or not it's within world bounds considering most UIs should be stationary and focused? Ask FlxState if contains a specific member making use of FlxGroup iterator? (Think this would have to be recursive search, may be easier way) Poke Grey hard in the ribs and tell her that she needs to be faster if she has ideas that might not be useless?
  • q
    Do ya thing. I had already typed it.
  • b
    I added 
    memberAdded
    to FlxGroup I think in order to make flixel at all compatible with HaxeUI
  • b
    I guess like the most basic ā€œchild is aware it has a parentā€ kind of thing
  • q
    facepaws
  • q
    That's right. Haxe supports dynamic compile-time extension.
