Should setAnchorPoint() be available in Sprite?

  @bowerandy: Search is your friend. This has been discussed a few times. One of the most recent discussions can be found here where @atilim has updated the feature to include shapes but TextFields still have priority. When shapes are implemented it will be quite a trivial point to create a transparent shape & add your sprite as a child then set the anchor point of the shape.

  Ok, thanks, I didn't see that. The question still remains though, why the method shouldn't be moved to Sprite. I would have thought it would be a common implementation?

  I think it may have something to do with the OpenGL implementation. It appears that setAnchorPoint() is being implemented on the lowest level drawing primitives only for speed. I may be wrong on this but I'm sure someone else will be along soon to correct me if I am.
