textureTextureThe PIXI texture that is displayed by the sprite
stop
()
Stops the MovieClip

Properties
_height
Number
private
The height of the sprite (this is initially set by the texture)
_interactive
Boolean
private
[read-only] Whether or not the object is interactive, do not toggle directly! use the interactive property
_width
Number
private
The width of the sprite (this is initially set by the texture)
alpha
Number
The opacity of the object.
anchor
Point
The anchor sets the origin point of the texture. The default is 0,0 this means the texture's origin is the top left Setting than anchor to 0.5,0.5 means the textures origin is centred Setting the anchor to 1,1 would mean the textures origin points will be the bottom right corner
animationSpeed
Number
The speed that the MovieClip will play at. Higher is faster, lower is slower
Default: 1
blendMode
Number
The blend mode to be applied to the sprite
Default: PIXI.blendModes.NORMAL;
cacheAsBitmap
Boolean
Set weather or not a the display objects is cached as a bitmap. This basically takes a snap shot of the display object as it is at that moment. It can provide a performance benefit for complex static displayObjects To remove filters simply set this property to 'null'
children
Array[read-only] The array of children of this container.
color
Array<>
private
[NYI] Unknown
currentFrame
Number
[read-only] The MovieClips current frame index (this may not have to be a whole number)
Default: 0
defaultCursor
String
This is the cursor that will be used when the mouse is over this object. To enable this the element must have interaction = true and buttonMode = true
dynamic
Boolean
private
[NYI] Holds whether or not this object is dynamic, for rendering optimization
filterArea
Rectangle
The area the filter is applied to like the hitArea this is used as more of an optimisation rather than figuring out the dimensions of the displayObject each frame you can set this rectangle
filters
Array An array of filters
Sets the filters for the displayObject.
- IMPORTANT: This is a webGL only feature and will be ignored by the canvas renderer. To remove filters simply set this property to 'null'
height
Number
The height of the sprite, setting this will actually modify the scale to achieve the value set
hitArea
Rectangle | Circle | Ellipse | Polygon
This is the defined area that will pick up mouse / touch events. It is null by default. Setting it is a neat way of optimising the hitTest function that the interactionManager will use (as it will not need to hit test all the children)
interactive
Boolean
Indicates if the sprite will have touch and mouse interactivity. It is false by default
Default: false
loop
Boolean
Whether or not the movie clip repeats after playing.
Default: true
mask
Graphics
Sets a mask for the displayObject. A mask is an object that limits the visibility of an object to the shape of the mask applied to it. In PIXI a regular mask must be a PIXI.Graphics object. This allows for much faster masking in canvas as it utilises shape clipping. To remove a mask, set this property to null.
onComplete
Function
Function to call when a MovieClip finishes playing
parent
DisplayObjectContainer
[read-only] The display object container that contains this display object.
playing
Boolean
[read-only] Indicates if the MovieClip is currently playing
renderable
Boolean
Can this object be rendered
rotation
Number
The rotation of the object in radians.
stage
Stage
[read-only] The stage the display object is connected to, or undefined if it is not connected to the stage.
textures
Array
The array of textures that make up the animation
tint
Number
The tint applied to the sprite. This is a hex value
Default: 0xFFFFFF
totalFrames
Number
[read-only] totalFrames is the total number of frames in the MovieClip. This is the same as number of textures assigned to the MovieClip.
Default: 0
visible
Boolean
The visibility of the object.
width
Number
The width of the sprite, setting this will actually modify the scale to achieve the value set
worldAlpha
Number
[read-only] The multiplied alpha of the displayObject
worldTransform
Mat3
private
[read-only] Current transform of the object based on world (parent) factors
worldVisible
Boolean
[read-only] Indicates if the sprite is globaly visible.
x
Number
The position of the displayObject on the x axis relative to the local coordinates of the parent.
y
Number
The position of the displayObject on the y axis relative to the local coordinates of the parent.
