Chapter 14 ■ Setting Up the Game Environment: Creating Fixed Sprite Classes Using the Actor Superclass
Figure 14-21. Instantiate an iPR0 Prop object, add it to the root Scene Graph, and add it to the CurrentCast List
The next step is to add the ImageView Node object for the iPR0 Prop object to the Scene Graph root object. This
is done using a .getChildren().add() method chain, which references the spriteFrame ImageView object, inside of
the iPR0 Prop object using dot notation, using the following Java statement, which is also shown in Figure 14-21:
root.getChildren().add(iPR0.spriteFrame);
Next, use an .addCurrentCast() method to add an iPR0 object to a castDirector object, seen in Figure 14-21:
castDirector.addCurrentCast(iPR0);
Next, test the code using a Run ➤ Project work process. The results are seen on the left side of Figure 14-22.
