BringToTop doesn't work for child of child sprite

[bymafmaf]

Hi!

 

I have a sprite which has some children. I run

this.world.bringToTop(mainSprite);

and it works well. However, it applies only to children of mainSprite, not child of one of its children. For example mainSprite.child is brought to top but mainSprite.child.child doesn't..

 

Is it a bug or I am missing something?

Do you have a live example we could look at?

Sorry for late answer. I've had to change the code. But I think it's straightforward,

parentSprite = this.add(0,0,'someKey');childSprite = this.add(10,10, 'anotherKey');greatChildSprite = this.add(20,20, 'differentKey');childSprite.addChild(greatChildSprite);parentSprite.addChild(childSprite);game.world.bringToTop(parentSprite); //this brings only parentSprite and childSprite to top, not greatChildSprite

I assume that Phaser supports just one child element, so that's why it does not work. But I have never used child element, so I cannot say sure.

Pretty sure you have to apply the method directly to the child, not the parent.

Why doesn't it affect all children? I mean this is really intuitive. I run function for parent and its children also run it. That principle holds for children, too. So, all sprites under first parent should run it.
