Scene Class

Extends Node

Module: cc

cc.Scene is a subclass of cc.Node that is used only as an abstract concept.
cc.Scene and cc.Node are almost identical with the difference that users can not modify cc.Scene manually.

  It's the recommended way to register touch/mouse event for Node, please do not use cc.eventManager directly for Node.
• off Removes the callback previously registered with the same type, callback, target and or useCapture. This method is merely an alias to removeEventListener.
• targetOff Removes all callbacks previously registered with the same target.
• pauseSystemEvents Pause node related system events registered with the current Node. Node system events includes touch and mouse events. If recursive is set to true, then this API will pause the node system events for the node and all nodes in its sub node tree.

  But you can use values higher than (1,1) and lower than (0,0) too.
  The default anchor point is (0.5,0.5), so it starts at the center of the node.

  But you can use values higher than (1,1) and lower than (0,0) too.
  The default anchor point is (0.5,0.5), so it starts at the center of the node.
• getAnchorPointInPoints Returns a copy of the anchor point in absolute pixels.
  you can only read it. If you wish to modify it, use setAnchorPoint.

                                                                                                          <br/>
  

  The Node's parent will sort all its children based ont the LocalZOrder value.
  If two nodes have the same LocalZOrder, then the node that was added first to the children's array
  will be in front of the other node in the array.
  Also, the Scene Graph is traversed using the "In-Order" tree traversal algorithm ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_traversal#In-order )
  And Nodes that have LocalZOder values smaller than 0 are the "left" subtree
  While Nodes with LocalZOder greater than 0 are the "right" subtree.

  If the node orphan, then nothing happens.
• removeChild Removes a child from the container. It will also cleanup all running actions depending on the cleanup parameter. </p> If the cleanup parameter is not passed, it will force a cleanup.
  "remove" logic MUST only be on this method
  If a class wants to extend the 'removeChild' behavior it only needs
  to override this method.
• removeChildByTag Removes a child from the container by tag value. It will also cleanup all running actions depending on the cleanup parameter. If the cleanup parameter is not passed, it will force a cleanup.

  If the cleanup parameter is not passed, it will force a cleanup.

• dispatchEvent Dispatches an event into the event flow. The event target is the EventTarget object upon which the dispatchEvent() method is called.
• emit Send an event to this object directly, this method will not propagate the event to any other objects. The event will be created from the supplied message, you can get the "detail" argument from event.detail.
• destroy Destroy this Object, and release all its own references to other objects.
  Actual object destruction will delayed until before rendering.
  After destroy, this CCObject is not usable any more. You can use cc.isValid(obj) to check whether the object is destroyed before accessing it.
• _destruct Clear all references in the instance.

NOTE: this method will not clear the getter or setter functions which defined in the instance of CCObject. You can override the _destruct method if you need, for example: _destruct: function () { for (var key in this) { if (this.hasOwnProperty(key)) { switch (typeof this[key]) { case 'string': this[key] = ''; break; case 'object': case 'function': this[key] = null; break; } } }

constructor

Parameters

• name String

on

Register a callback of a specific event type on Node.
Use this method to register touch or mouse event permit propagation based on scene graph, you can propagate the event to the parents or swallow it by calling stopPropagation on the event.

Parameters

• type String A string representing the event type to listen for.

                         from being invoked when the event's eventPhase attribute value is BUBBLING_PHASE.

Parameters

• type String A string representing the event type being removed.
• callback Function The callback to remove.
• target Object The target (this object) to invoke the callback, if it's not given, only callback without target will be removed
• useCapture Boolean Specifies whether the callback being removed was registered as a capturing callback or not.

getLocalZOrder

Returns the local Z order of this node.

Examples

var localZorder = node.getLocalZOrder();

setLocalZOrder

LocalZOrder is the 'key' used to sort the node relative to its siblings.

The Node's parent will sort all its children based ont the LocalZOrder value.
If two nodes have the same LocalZOrder, then the node that was added first to the children's array
will be in front of the other node in the array.
Also, the Scene Graph is traversed using the "In-Order" tree traversal algorithm ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_traversal#In-order )
And Nodes that have LocalZOder values smaller than 0 are the "left" subtree
While Nodes with LocalZOder greater than 0 are the "right" subtree.

• localZOrder Number

Examples

node.setLocalZOrder(1);

Parameters

• cascadeOpacityEnabled Boolean

Examples

node.setCascadeOpacityEnabled(true);

Parameters

• type String A string representing the event type to listen for.
• callback Function The callback that will be invoked when the event is dispatched.

                         The callback is ignored if it is a duplicate (the callbacks are unique).

• target Object The target (this object) to invoke the callback, can be null
• useCapture Boolean When set to true, the capture argument prevents callback

                         from being invoked when the event's eventPhase attribute value is BUBBLING_PHASE.

obj.destroy();

_destruct

Clear all references in the instance.

NOTE: this method will not clear the getter or setter functions which defined in the instance of CCObject. You can override the _destruct method if you need, for example: _destruct: function () { for (var key in this) { if (this.hasOwnProperty(key)) { switch (typeof this[key]) { case 'string': this[key] = ''; break; case 'object': case 'function': this[key] = null; break; } } }

• exporting Boolean

_deserialize

Init this object from the custom serialized data.
