<h1>Working with parent objects<a class="headerlink" href="#working-with-parent-objects" title="Link to this heading"></a></h1>
<p>In <a class="reference external" href="https://phaser.io">Phaser</a>, only two type of scene objects can be used as a “container” or a “parent” of other objects: the <a class="reference external" href="./container-object.html">Container</a>, and the <a class="reference external" href="./layer-object.html">Layer</a> objects.</p>
<p>In the next section you can learn about operations common to both type of objects.</p>
<section id="parent-context-menu">
<h2>Parent context menu<a class="headerlink" href="#parent-context-menu" title="Link to this heading"></a></h2>
<p>The <strong>Parent</strong> sub-menu of the scene context menu shows the commands you can apply to containers and layers. Many of those commands are compatible with both types:</p>

</section>
<section id="moving-an-object-to-a-parent">
<h2>Moving an object to a parent<a class="headerlink" href="#moving-an-object-to-a-parent" title="Link to this heading"></a></h2>
<p>You can move an object to a new parent. The command <strong>Move To Parent</strong> opens the <strong>Parent</strong> dialog. This dialog shows all the available parents for the object (including the scene) and you can select the new parent.</p>
<p>The command can be executed by pressing the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Shift+P</span></code> keys or selecting the <strong>Move To Parent</strong> option in the context menu.</p>

</section>
<section id="breaking-a-parent">
<h2>Breaking a parent<a class="headerlink" href="#breaking-a-parent" title="Link to this heading"></a></h2>
<p>The <strong>Break Parent</strong> command removes a  Container or Layer, but keeps its children. The children are added to the parent of the parent, and their preserve the same absolute position.</p>
<p>You can execute the command by pressing the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Shift+B</span></code> keys or selecting the <strong>Break Parent</strong> option of the <a class="reference internal" href="#parent-context-menu">Parent context menu</a>.</p>
</section>
<section id="selecting-the-parent-of-an-object">
<h2>Selecting the parent of an object<a class="headerlink" href="#selecting-the-parent-of-an-object" title="Link to this heading"></a></h2>
<p>The <strong>Select Parent</strong> command selects the parent of an object. To execute the command press the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">P</span></code> key or click on the <strong>Select Parent</strong> option of the <a class="reference internal" href="#parent-context-menu">Parent context menu</a>.</p>
</section>
<section id="selecting-the-children-of-an-object">
<h2>Selecting the children of an object<a class="headerlink" href="#selecting-the-children-of-an-object" title="Link to this heading"></a></h2>
<p>The <strong>Select Children</strong> command selects the children of a container or a layer. To execute this command, press the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">N</span></code> key or click on the <strong>Select Children</strong> option in the <a class="reference internal" href="#parent-context-menu">Parent context menu</a>.</p>
</section>
<section id="changing-the-rendering-order-of-children">
<h2>Changing the rendering order of children<a class="headerlink" href="#changing-the-rendering-order-of-children" title="Link to this heading"></a></h2>
<p>You can change the rendering order of an object. The context menu shows the <strong>Edit</strong> → <strong>Move</strong> commands, to move the objects in different depth directions:</p>
