hi there 

im wondering what happens to a child element when its parent suffered .kill() or .destroy() method?

does it also get erased from earth?

 

thanks!

To test this: Create a Sprite element and add another as it's child. Then call .kill() on the Sprite parent and you'll find the result. Asking questions is good, but experimenting is always the best way to learn, because you'll remember it long.

And Yes, the child element is also killed. Just tested it

If you add "true" to a destroy or kill function, it will also get rid of the childs. For example: object.destroy(true)
