sharing a sprite between states

[spiderworm]

Hi,

 

I have a game with two states.  A sprite (called player) is created in the first state and stored in the first state.  In my second state, in create, I call:

this.game.add.existing(player);

But the player sprite never appears in the second state.  player.alive,  player.exists, player.visible, and player.renderable are all true.  Any hints on sharing sprites between states?

I would remove it from the world when State 1 ends, and then re-add it in State2, as the world gets purged during a state swap and is probably semi-clearing the sprite down.

That does work, actually.  Cool!  Thanks!
