Pixi.js: PIXI.Text cant be displayed when add to a child container

[gaccob]

take http://pixijs.github.io/examples/#/demos/text-demo.js for example,

I added a container named view to stage,

and add textSample to view,

then, the textSample won't be displayed, is it correct or a bug?

It's correct.. and the reason is the ordering of the children.

You see, within the init() function you have

// add a shiny background...
var background = PIXI.Sprite.fromImage('required/assets/textDemoBG.jpg');
stage.addChild(background);

This background is added _after_ your new view container is added, and so will be drawn after anything added to your new view container.
If you move the

var view = new PIXI.Container();
stage.addChild(view)

to just before
view.addChild(textSample);
You'll see it works just fine :)
