    How would I print the total Sprite child count of a sprite, including nested children?

      Hi, Can you try this?
      function Sprite.getCascadeChildrenCount(self)
 
	local count = 0
 
	for i=1,self:getNumChildren() do
		count = count + self:getChildAt(i):getCascadeChildrenCount() + 1
	end
 
	return count;
 
end
 
print(sprite:getCascadeChildrenCount())

      The problem are the nested ones, maybe you could try to merge print_r with this:
      http://docs.giderosmobile.com/reference/gideros/Sprite/getNumChildren

      Or modify print_r to keep a counter when getBaseClass returns Sprite

      [Edit: mertocan was faster! :) ]
