when Container is flipped Sprite Mask stops working

[andreas_d]

Hi guys,

 

Is this currently not possible using the framework?  Or am I going about it the wrong way?

I attempt to flip the a container containing 2 sprites, one acting as a mask for the other.  When they are flipped sprite mask no longer works

and both sprites disappear.

 

example : http://turnoffthe.tv/clients/pixi/error/

var stage = new PIXI.Container;var box = new PIXI.Container;var bg = new PIXI.Sprite.fromImage('portrait.jpg');var imageMask =  new PIXI.Sprite.fromImage('blurwhite.png');//flip the containerbox.scale.x=-1;box.position.x=1000;stage.addChild(box).addChild(bg);box.addChild(imageMask);// toggle the maskstage.interactive=true;stage.on('mousedown',function(e){(bg.mask == imageMask)? bg.mask = null : bg.mask = imageMask;			})

You can't add a sprite to the scene *and* as a mask. Adding it as a mask makes it not draw (sets renderable = false).

Hi xerver,

 

I was only doing that for convenience so whoever looked at it could see the position of the mask when it was toggled off.  I get the same result when I comment out:

box.addChild(imageMask) 

The problem occurs when applying :

box.scale.x=-1;

Thanks for your reply

Sounds like a bug, I would post an issue on GitHub so we can look at it.

Thanks!
