Am I Idiot or is HaxeFlixel limited as hell ?

Zekrose

Hello,

Now that I got your attention, I'd like to ask some questions about how HaxeFlixel works. I'm trying to do some draggable GUI Windows here and everything works fine except FlxSpriteGroup. For example, I have a Item Class that extends FlxSpriteGroup and a ItemSlot Class that also extends FlxSpriteGroup.

The problem is the following : I'm trying to create a system that swaps the two items in the slots that are being swapped. Before swapping, If I drag around the window in which the slots are (let's call it the inventory window), everything works fine. But once i swapped the items, it looks like there's some random position that's being added to the Item Instance and it starts moving away. Really annoying because it happens everytime I .remove(Item) from SLOT A and I .add(Item) to slot B. Is it a way to handle this properly ? I don't think code is needed here because I tried some workarounds and still the same thing happens.

Here's some gif of what's happening, you'll see what happens once I swap the items.

It's not the first time I have to deal with the way HaxeFlixel renders a Sprite that's already been created. I don't wanna Create a new Instance of the Item Class everytime I swap slots... So, am I Idiot or is there something I might be doing wrong ?

This is some code that totally explains what I am doing :

var a:FlxSpriteGroup = new FlxSpriteGroup();
var b:FlxSprite = new FlxSprite();
var c:FlxSpriteGroup = new FlxSpriteGroup();
a.setPosition(0,0); // Setting a position to 0,0
b.setPosition(10,10); // Setting relative position to 10,10

a.add(b)
trace(b.getPosition() == (10,10)) // True

a.remove(b)
c.add(b) // Adding b to c with relative position
c.setPosition(10,10)
trace(b.getPosition() == (20,20)); // False

Instead of handling relative positions correctly, it just doesn't.

FlxSpriteGroup

checkout the FlxGroupSprite source in here

https://github.com/HaxeFlixel/flixel/blob/master/flixel/group/FlxSpriteGroup.hx

When removed from a, b's x and y are transformed by the a's x and y...

I hope you'll find some clues...
