PIXI JS Priority call mouseover event

When we create multiple sprites, the function mouseover is called when any hover in hitArea polygon. Regardless, whether applied to another object.
Visibility of sprite governed by sorting the array. The later was added to the sprite in stage.children, the higher it will be. Here is an example in which one rectangle superimposed on the other. At the same time, when we put things on the upper left corner of the bottom sprite, at the top of the object function mouseover will work call, although it is under the other.
How to solve this problem? hitarea not suitable, since the facilities will be constantly dragging.
Thanks in advance for your reply!

I know this is old thread, but for those who come to this page, the issue can be fixed by extending the PIXI's Sprite Class, Look at the following code.
PIXI.Sprite.prototype.bringToFront = function() {
if (this.parent) {
var parent = this.parent;
parent.removeChild(this);
parent.addChild(this);
}
}
And call above method in mousedown event like this
this.bringToFront();

How do I erase an image on html5 canvas

I have a html5 canvas where you can erase the blur on top of an image. I would like to replace the blur with another image. I would like the end result to be once you erase the top image the bottom image will appear below it. I have been using an easeljs demo as a template.
http://www.createjs.com/#!/EaselJS/demos/alphamask
I feel like what I need to edit is in the html page script but it might be much deeper than that.
(Full code can be viewed here)

If you simply want to replace the blur-image, you have to change the following parts:
Add this after the loading of the first image:
image.src = "images/summer.jpg";
// add new part
image2 = new Image();
image2.onload = handleComplete;
image2.src = "images/your_newImage.jpg";
In the handleComplete() you now wait for 2 images to be loaded, so you add this:
function handleComplete() {
loaded++; // and initialize this variable in the very top with: var loaded = 0;
if ( window.loaded < 2 ) return;
//... other stull
and finally you change the following lines:
// old
blur = new createjs.Bitmap(image);
blur.filters = [new createjs.BoxBlurFilter(15,15,2)];
blur.cache(0,0,960,400);
blur.alpha = .5;
// new
blur = new createjs.Bitmap(image2);
This should now replace the blurred image with your desired image, it's not the best way, but it should get you there. I recommend you to start with some tutorial if you are planing to do more "deeper" stuff ;)

a common, though kinda janky, way is to re-size your canvas real quick. so changing your <canvas> elements width and height attributes. This will erase everything in your canvas.
Once that is done, reset it back to what you want it to be right away, and redraw the bottom image.
As I said this method is kinda sketchy but it does get the job done.

Generating new canvas dynamically in javascript

I have a canvas that I can draw things what I want to do is generate new canvases dynamically when clicking a button.I've defined a generate function but it did not work
here is script
//<![CDATA[
window.addEventListener('load', function () {
// get the canvas element and its context
var canvas = document.getElementById('sketchpad');
var context = canvas.getContext('2d');
// create a drawer which tracks touch movements

touchstart: function (coors) {
context.beginPath();
context.moveTo(coors.x, coors.y);
this.isDrawing = true;
},
touchmove: function (coors) {
if (this.isDrawing) {
context.lineTo(coors.x, coors.y);
context.stroke();
}
},
touchend: function (coors) {
if (this.isDrawing) {
this.touchmove(coors);
this.isDrawing = false;
}
}
};
// create a function to pass touch events and coordinates to drawer
function draw(event) {
var type = null;
// map mouse events to touch events
switch(event.type){
case "mousedown":
event.touches = [];
event.touches[0] = {

here is jsfiddle http://jsfiddle.net/regeme/WVUwn/
ps:drawing not displayed on jsfiddle however it works on my localhost I have totally no idea about it , anyway what I need is generate function , I did but I think I am missing something..
Any ideas? thanks..

Below is a function I wrote to dynamically create canvas.
If the canvas already exists (same ID) then that canvas is returned.
The pixelRatio parameter can be defaulted to 1. It's used for setting the correct size on retina displays (so for iPhone with Retina the value would be 2)
function createLayer(sizeW, sizeH, pixelRatio, id, zIndex) {
// *** An id must be given.
if (typeof id === undefined) {
return false;
}
// *** If z-index is less than zero we'll make it a buffer image.
isBuffer = (zIndex < 0) ? true : false;
// *** If the canvas exist, clean it and just return that.
var element = document.getElementById(id);
if (element !== null) {
return element;
}
// *** If no zIndex is passed in then default to 0.
if (typeof zIndex === undefined || zIndex < 0) {
zIndex = 0;
}
var canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
canvas.width = sizeW;
canvas.height = sizeH;
canvas.id = id;
canvas.style.width = sizeW*pixelRatio + "px";
canvas.style.height = sizeH*pixelRatio + "px";
canvas.style.position = "absolute";
canvas.style.zIndex = zIndex;
if (!isBuffer) {
var body = document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0];
body.appendChild(canvas);
}
return canvas;
}

Change the jsfiddle option
"onLoad"
to
"No Wrap - in <body>"

This is the working update of your JSFIDDLE
javascript:
document.getElementById('generate').addEventListener('mousedown', generate, false);
I guess this is what you want.
I've just added an eventListener to your button in javascript code itself.
P.S.: I've also added black background color to canvas to show it on white background.

Canvas and animation

I was trying to create a sample paint application using HTML 5 canvas. Then I added a button to redraw what user had drawn earlier. I am not sure what I am doing wrong or may be completely wrong. When I click redraw button multiple times it generates some magical animation by drawing lines all over. Even though if I log the starting point of drawing the image its same every time.
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/BW57H/6/
Steps to reproduce:
Draw some circle or rectangle or something by clicking the mouse and dragging it on the rectangular box. Then click reset and redraw , click redraw couple of times after that and see the result.
I am not sure what I have done. I have not read a lot about Canvas. But I am curious to know what is going on here. Thanks.

Obviously you don't stop the previous timeout loop before you start a new...
Use setInterval instead of setTimeout, and clearInterval by next push. So I think the problem is not with the canvas, just with your redraw animation. Btw it is strange because there is some difference between the redraw and the original draw...
var drawInterval = null;
function autoDraw(){
if (drawInterval) {
//here your can reset the previous - still running - redraw
clearInterval(drawInterval);
}
context.beginPath();
console.log('starting at: '+xarray[0]+','+yarray[0]);
context.moveTo(xarray[0],yarray[0]);
var i=0;
setInterval(function (){
++i;
if (i<xarray.length)
drawLineSlowly(i);
else
clearInterval(drawInterval);
},20);
}
note:
There is still bug in the redraw, but at least it does not kill the browser...
Btw the strange "animation" is because you does not check by redraw if you are currently drawing or not, so you start draw and redraw together and they interfere... You have to stop redraw when you start drawing.

Kinetic.js masked image with slow performance on firefox

I'm new to kinetic and I don't know about performance issues.
I made this example, you just have to click on the black and white image and drag over it, then, a colored circle apears.
The performance in chrome, safari on an Ipad, and even Opera Mobile on an android phone is quite good. In firefox it starts ok, but if you move the mouse for a while it slows down and doesn't work properly. The firebug profiler doesn't help a lot... How could I debug this issue in a better way?
In the drawing function there's an inner method onMove to do the hard work. I believe here lies the performance problem but I don't know how to achieve the same effect in a better way.
Any ideas?
function draw(images) {
var stage = new Kinetic.Stage({
container : 'container',
width : 1024,
height : 483
}), bn_layer = new Kinetic.Layer(), color_layer = new Kinetic.Layer(), circle_layer = new Kinetic.Layer(), bn = new Kinetic.Image({
x : 0,
y : 0,
image : images.bn,
width : 1024,
heigth : 483
}), tmp_circle = null, movable = false;
bn_layer.add(bn);
tmp_circle = addCircle(circle_layer, images);
var onMove = function() {
if (movable) {
var pos = getMousePosition(stage);
circle_layer.draw();
tmp_circle.remove();
tmp_circle.setPosition(pos.x, pos.y)
tmp_circle.setFillPatternImage(images.color);
tmp_circle.setFillPatternOffset(pos.x, pos.y);
circle_layer.add(tmp_circle);
}
}
stage.on("mousemove touchmove", onMove);
stage.on("mousedown touchstart", function() {
debug("activo")
circle_layer.show();
movable = true;
onMove();
circle_layer.draw();
});
stage.on("mouseup touchend", function() {
debug("inactivo")
circle_layer.draw();
tmp_circle.remove();
circle_layer.hide();
movable = false;
})
//stage.add(color_layer);
stage.add(bn_layer);
stage.add(circle_layer);
circle_layer.hide();
}
Update: Changing the mouse event for a requestAnimationFrame method controlled with a flag the performance improves a lot in firefox on windows. In firefox on Linux the performance is still crappy.
I think this might have some relation with what is commented in this topic:
Poor Canvas2D performance with Firefox on Linux
There they are talking about a possible bug in firefox related to the cairo libraries:

Place if (movable) condition outside of onMove() function, this way you`ll not check every time for this capability:
if (movable) {
var onMove = function() {
var pos = getMousePosition(stage);
circle_layer.draw();
tmp_circle.remove();
tmp_circle.setPosition(pos.x, pos.y)
tmp_circle.setFillPatternImage(images.color);
tmp_circle.setFillPatternOffset(pos.x, pos.y);
circle_layer.add(tmp_circle);
}
}
