Need Help

This might be the most pathetic question to ask but I can't figure it out. Might be lack of sleep but I am stumped. I am loading a t2dStaticSprite into a simset, I am able to do .listObjects() and get back an object number. So I know that object is loading. My problem comes when I want to display the object in my game, I can't for the life of me figure out what to call. I am doing the following:

declaring my new simSet
$showing = new SimSet() {};

Then I load the SimSet in another function:

%toon = new t2dStaticSprite() {
imageMap = "toonImage";
frame = "4";
layer = "1";
canSaveDynamicFields = "1";
Position = "0 0";
size = "4.000 4.000";
WorldLimitMode = "NULL";
WorldLimitMin = "-50.160 -37.610";
WorldLimitMax = "50.317 37.127";
WorldLimitCallback = "1";
CollisionActiveSend = "1";
CollisionActiveReceive = "1";
CollisionPhysicsSend = "0";
CollisionPhysicsReceive = "0";
CollisionCallback = "1";
};

$showing.add(%toon);
When I run $showing.listObjects(); I get:

1352: t2dStaticSprite

Yes I am aware that I don't need to create a simset for one object but I am just testing things right now. Once I have it working I will be loading many objects in. So now all I want to do is make it appear on my screen but can't figure it out. Please help.

You need to add your object to the scene graph. There are a number of ways you can do this. One of the ways is like this:

SceneWindow2D.getSceneGraph().addToScene(%toon)

Or when you create %toon do something like this:

%toon = new t2dStaticSprite() {
sceneGraph = SceneWindow2D.getSceneGraph();
imageMap = "toonImage";
frame = "4";
layer = "1";
...
};

Thank you so much Darius, I knew it was something basic that I was missing. Fixed it, now for some sleep.

You're welcome. I've pulled my hair out before with that exact problem before, glad that fixed it.
