Changing background color from black

[Zeeshan Ahmad]

Hi

Does someone know how to alter the background color in the game?

I have changed in Project.xml to:

<window width="480" height="800" fps="60" background="#ffffff" hardware="true" vsync="true" />

And FlxG class doesn't seem to have the property "bgColor".

I have the latest haxeflixel lib installed.

Thank you.

Ok, just found the solution. In each state, the property bgColor is available.

Is there a way to change the default bgColor?

state.bgColor is just a shortcut to FlxG.cameras.bgColor. When a new camera is created, it uses the color specified in FlxG.cameras.bgColor, so in a way that's the "default".

Suddenly I am unable to change the background colour from FlxG.cameras.bgColor using either the static FlxColor values or the int values (e.g. 0xe5e519). Is there a new step that I'm missing?

You are probably changing it later somewhere so it looks like you didn't do anything. Use trace.

Just to mention that there seems to be a bug if you directly modify FlxState.bgcolor after the FlxState initialization. In that case, the FlxSpriteGroups contained in this State are not rendered on screen anymore.
Directly modifying FlxG.camera.bgcolor works though.

That sounds very strange, do you have an example that reproduces that?
