addChild method

  1. @override
void addChild(
  1. DisplayObject child
)
override

Adds a child DisplayObject to this DisplayObjectContainer.

The child is added to the front (top) of all other children. (To add a child to a specific index position, use addChildAt.)

If you add a child object that already has a different display object container as a parent, the object is removed from the child list of the other display object container.

Implementation

@override
void addChild(DisplayObject child) {
  if (child == this) {
    throw ArgumentError('An object cannot be added as a child of itself.');
  } else if (child.parent == this) {
    _addLocalChild(child);
  } else {
    child.removeFromParent();
    _throwIfAncestors(child);
    _children.add(child);
    _setChildParent(child);
  }
}
