Starling Inspector

The Starling Inspector is an AS3 library which will enable display list inspection of your Starling Framework project. This project is relying on the Starling version of Feathers UI.

👉 Beware: the project is currently in its early stage, you might encounter issues while using it.

⭐ Key features

• Inspect your scene without using a debugger
• Tweak your scene objects live
• Customize your inspector if needed

▶️ Try it!

Go to the demo folder, configure the project & run it or if you get the latest release, the demo binary should be available in the archive.

⌨️ How to use?

🎛️ Display List Inspector

In order to start exploring a Display Object Container, check the following snippet:

private var _scene:Sprite; // Your scene root object
private var _inspectorLayer:Sprite;

public function setupInspector()
{
	// Setup the inspector layer
	_inspectorLayer = new Sprite();
	addChild(_inspectorLayer);

	// Setup the inspector configuration
	InspectorConfiguration.ROOT_LAYER = _inspectorLayer;

	// Create the Display List Inspector Panel
	_displayListInspectorPanel = new DisplayListInspectorPanel(_scene, true);
	_displayListInspectorPanel.height = Starling.current.nativeStage.stageHeight;
	_inspectorLayer.addChild(_displayListInspectorPanel);
}

Feel free to checkout the demo for more usage examples.

🖌️ Customize inspector styles

The style of the inspector is based on your current Feathers UI theme (see Feathers themes). For further customization, check the following class: InspectorConfiguration.

// Change the style used for panel title
InspectorConfiguration.STYLE_NAME_LABEL_PANEL_TITLE = "custom-inspector-panel-title-style";

// Change the padding between components
InspectorConfiguration.COMPONENTS_PADDING = 12;
