    Sprite getWidth problem

    Hi All,

    I have an issue with Sprite:getWidth().

    The documentation says: "The width is calculated based on the bounds of the content of the sprite."

    I have a sprite with several children.
    Some of the children are text, some images.
    It does not get rotated or anything.

    When I use getWidth() I do not get the real width of the sprite. Instead I am getting something that appears to be random number.
    I suspect this is because some of the children of the sprite are text sprites...

    Has anyone experienced the same problem?
    Any thoughts?

    Thanks

    Vlad

      @kussakov well thats sounds strange
      could you provide simple example so I could confirm that? And we could report it as bug

      Sprite:getBounds() is now documented.
      local x, y, width, height = sprite:getBounds(sprite) -- returns local (untransformed) bounds
local x, y, width, height = sprite:getBounds(stage) -- returns bounds as transformed to stage's coordinate system

      I see this bug fixed in v.2012.8.3
      "Sprite:getBounds() function returns wrong values when there are more than 2 level of hierarchies and rotation".
      I have to install it and check. I have more than 2 levels of hierarchy...
