See Also:

Prototype

Integer getChildCount(Node parentNode);

Parameters/Return Value

Parameter Data Type Description
parentNode Reference:node The Node to look in for children
Return Integer number of direct children within the parent Node

Detailed Description

The getChildCount function returns the number of direct children within the parent.

Nodes in SHIP may have 0 or more direct child nodes. For example, a group in the resources area may have N images within the group. These children, if present, are implicitly numbered 0..(N-1) where N is the total number of children of any type within the parent Node.
