PIXI.Container don't have method containsPoint cause event cannot be triggered at Container

let app = new PIXI.Application(800, 600);
document.body.appendChild(app.view);
app.stage.interactive = true;
app.stage.on('click', () => {
    console.log('CLICKED');
})

Expect Click on stage would trigger click event.

Actual Nothing triggered

Found out the reason is PIXI.Container doesn’t have method containsPoint, and it lead to hitTest is skiped.

By the way, about box - if you try to use width and height on containers, they also work Flash way, so prepare to study docs and sources about it.

It would be good if someone implements containers for for web-devs based on their DOM experience, you should go for it 😃 Basic pixi container: https://github.com/pixijs/pixi.js/blob/dev/src/core/display/Container.js

Not a bug. Either add click event to interaction manager (renderer.plugins.interaction) directly, either use background element:

var back = new PIXI.Container();
back.hitArea = app.screen;
app.stage.addChild(back);
back.interactive = true;
back.on('click', () => {... });
