Re: what is renderTick?

by Ralph Hauwert :: Rate this Message:

Actually, it's like this.

BasicView supports startRendering(); stopRendering(); and
renderSingle();

These functions make sure rendering is handled, and in turn make sure
the onRenderTick(event:Event); function is called.
To add your own functionality to the basic rendering loop, or even
remove the normal render calls do this :

override protected function onRenderTick(event:Event):void
{
//Your functionality.
super.onRenderTick(event);
}

So it's not a matter of copy paste, it's trying to help developers not
having to do that kind of basic setup stuff.

Ralph.
