-
-## Monarch 2.6.0 [britzl released 2018-06-03]
-NEW: monarch.preload() to load but not show a screen. Useful for content heavy screens that you wish to show without delay.
-
-## Monarch 2.5.0 [britzl released 2018-06-01]
-NEW: Transitions will send a `transition_done` message to the creator of the transition to notify that the transition has finished. The `message` will contain which transition that was finished.

-NEW: Screen transitions are remembered so that they can be replayed when the screen layout changes.
-
-## Monarch 2.3.0 [britzl released 2018-03-24]
-CHANGE: The functions in monarch.lua that previously only accepted a hash as screen id now also accepts strings (and does the conversion internally)
-
-## Monarch 2.2.0 [britzl released 2018-03-19]

 # Usage
 Using Monarch requires that screens are created in a certain way. Once you have one or more screens created you can start navigating between the screens.
 
+## Editor Script
+Right click in on a`.gui` file in the outline and selected the menu item, it creates a `.collection` and a `.gui_script` with the same name as the `.gui` file. It adds the file with some basic setup done to them, adding the selected gui script to the created gui scene and in turns adds the gui scene to the newly created collection.

 ## Creating screens
-Monarch screens are created in individual collections and loaded through collection proxies. The recommended setup is to create one game object per screen and per game object attach a collection proxy component and an instance of the ```screen.script``` provided by Monarch. The ```screen.script``` will take care of the setup of the screen. All you need to do is to make sure that the script properties on the ```screen.script``` are correct:
+Monarch screens are created in individual collections and either loaded through collection proxies or created through collection factories.
 
-* **Screen Proxy (url)** - The URL to the collection proxy component containing the actual screen. Defaults to ```#collectionproxy```.
+### Collection proxies
+For proxies the recommended setup is to create one game object per screen and per game object attach a collection proxy component and an instance of the `screen_proxy.script` provided by Monarch. The `screen_proxy.script` will take care of the setup of the screen. All you need to do is to make sure that the script properties on the script are correct:
+
+* **Screen Proxy (url)** - The URL to the collection proxy component containing the actual screen. Defaults to `#collectionproxy`.
 * **Screen Id (hash)** - A unique id that can be used to reference the screen when navigating your app.
 * **Popup (boolean)** - Check this if the screen should be treated as a [popup](#popups).
 * **Popup on Popup (boolean)** - Check this if the screen is a [popup](#popups) and it can be shown on top of other popups.
-* **Transition Url (url)** - Optional URL to call when the screen is about to be shown/hidden. Use this to trigger a transition (see the section on [transitions](#transitions)).
+* **Timestep below Popup (number)** - Timestep to set on screen proxy when it is below a popup. This is useful when pausing animations and gameplay while a popup is open.
-* **Focus Url (url)** - Optional URL to call when the screen gains or loses focus (see the section on [screen focus](#screen-focus-gainloss)).
+* **Screen Keeps Input Focus When Below Popup (boolean)** - Check this if the screen should keep input focus when it is below a popup.
+* **Others Keep Input Focus When Below Screen (boolean)** - Check this if other screens should keep input focus when below this screen.
+* **Transition Url (url)** - **DEPRECATED** Optional URL to post messages to when the screen is about to be shown/hidden. Use this to trigger a transition (see the section on [transitions](#transitions)).
+* **Focus Url (url)** - **DEPRECATED** Optional URL to post messages to when the screen gains or loses focus (see the section on [screen focus](#screen-focus-gainloss)).
+* **Receiver Url (url)** - **DEPRECATED** Optional URL to post messages to using `monarch.post()`.
+* **Preload (boolean)** - Check this if the screen should be preloaded and kept loaded at all times. For a collection proxy it means that it will be async loaded but not enabled at all times while not visible. This can also temporarily be achieved through the `monarch.preload()` function.

+### Collection factories
+For factories the recommended setup is to create one game object per screen and per game object attach a collection factory component and an instance of the `screen_factory.script` provided by Monarch. The `screen_factory.script` will take care of the setup of the screen. All you need to do is to make sure that the script properties on the script are correct:
+
+* **Screen Factory (url)** - The URL to the collection factory component containing the actual screen. Defaults to `#collectionfactory`.
+* **Screen Id (hash)** - A unique id that can be used to reference the screen when navigating your app.
+* **Popup (boolean)** - Check this if the screen should be treated as a [popup](#popups).
+* **Popup on Popup (boolean)** - Check this if the screen is a [popup](#popups) and it can be shown on top of other popups.
+* **Screen Keeps Input Focus When Below Popup (boolean)** - Check this if the screen should keep input focus when it is below a popup.
+* **Others Keep Input Focus When Below Screen (boolean)** - Check this if other screens should keep input focus when below this screen.
+* **Transition Id (hash)** - **DEPRECATED** Optional id of the game object to send a message to when the screen is about to be shown/hidden. Use this to trigger a transition (see the section on [transitions](#transitions)).
+* **Focus Id (hash)** - **DEPRECATED** Optional id of the game object to send a message to when the screen gains or loses focus (see the section on [screen focus](#screen-focus-gainloss)).
+* **Preload (boolean)** - Check this if the screen should be preloaded and kept loaded at all times. For a collection factory this means that its resources will be dynamically loaded at all times. This can also temporarily be achieved through the `monarch.preload()` function.
+
+![](docs/setup_factory.png)
+
+Note: Monarch supports dynamic collection factories (ie where the "Load Dynamically" checkbox is checked).
+
+## Nesting screens
+Sometimes it might be desirable to have a screen that contains one or more sub-screens or children, for instance popups that are used only by that screen. Monarch supports nested screens only when the parent screen is created via a collection factory. If the parent screen is loaded via a collection proxy the sub/child-screens won't be able to receive any input.
 
 ## Navigating between screens
 The navigation in Monarch is based around a stack of screens. When a screen is shown it is pushed to the top of the stack. When going back to a previous screen the topmost screen on the stack is removed. Example:
 
 * Showing screen A
-* Stack is ```[A]```
+* Stack is `[A]`
 * Showing screen B
-* Stack is ```[A, B]``` - (B is on top)
+* Stack is `[A, B]` - (B is on top)
 * Going back
-* Stack is ```[A]```
+* Stack is `[A]`
 
 ### Showing a new screen
 You show a screen in one of two ways:
 
-1. Post a ```show``` message to the ```screen.script```
+1. Post a `show` message to the screen script (either `screen_proxy.script` or `screen_factory.script`)
-2. Call ```monarch.show()``` (see below)
+2. Call `monarch.show()` (see below)
 
 Showing a screen will push it to the top of the stack and trigger an optional transition. The previous screen will be hidden (with an optional transition) unless the screen to be shown is a [popup](#popups).
 
-NOTE: You must ensure that the ```init()``` function of the ```screen.script``` has run. The ```init()``` function is responsible for registering the screen and it's not possible to show it until this has happened. A good practice is to delay the first call by posting a message to a controller script or similar before calling ```monarch.show()``` the first time:

 #### Preventing duplicates in the stack
-You can pass an optional ```clear``` flag when showing a screen (either as a key value pair in the options table when calling ```monarch.show()``` or in the message). If the clear flag is set Monarch will search the stack for the screen in question. If the screen already exists in the stack and the ```clear``` flag is set Monarch will remove all screens between the current top and the screen in question. Example:

+* Stack is `[A, B, C, D, B]` - (B is on top)
+
+#### Showing a screen without adding it to the stack
+Monarch can also show a screen without adding it to the stack. This can be used to for instance load a collection containing a background that you want to have visible at all times. You show and hide such a screen like this:
+
+	-- show the background without adding it to the stack
+	monarch.show(hash("background"), { no_stack = true })
+
+	-- hide the background
+	monarch.hide(hash("background"))
 
 ### Going back to a previous screen
 You navigate back in the screen hierarchy in one of two ways:
 
-1. Post a ```back``` message to the ```screen.script```
+1. Post a `back` message to the screen script (either `screen_proxy.script` or `screen_factory.script`)
-2. Call ```monarch.back()``` (see below)
+2. Call `monarch.back()` (see below)
 
 
 ## Input focus
-Monarch will acquire and release input focus on the game objects containing the proxies to the screens and ensure that only the top-most screen will ever have input focus.
+Monarch will acquire and release input focus on the game objects containing the proxies to the screens and ensure that only the top-most screen will ever have input focus. The screen settings above provide a `Screen Keeps Input Focus When Below Popup` and `Others Keep Input Focus When Below Screen` setting to override this behavior so that a screen can continue to have focus. This is useful when you have for instance a tabbed popup where the tabs are in a root screen and the content of the individual tabs are separate screens. In this case you want the tabs to have input as well as the tab content.

+* Stack is `[A, B, C]` and B will still be visible
 
 ### Popup on popup
 If a popup is at the top of the stack and another popup is shown the behavior will depend on if the new popup has the Popup on Popup flag set or not. If the Popup on Popup flag is set the underlying popup will remain visible.
 
-* Stack is ```[A, B, C]``` and C is a popup
+* Stack is `[A, B, C]` and C is a popup
-* A call to ```monarch.show(D)``` is made and D is a popup with the popup on popup flag set
+* A call to `monarch.show(D)` is made and D is a popup with the popup on popup flag set
-* Stack is ```[A, B, C, D]```
+* Stack is `[A, B, C, D]`
 
 If the Popup on Popup flag is not set then the underlying popup will be closed, just as when showing a normal screen on top of a popup (see above).
 
-* Stack is ```[A, B, C]``` and C is a popup
+* Stack is `[A, B, C]` and C is a popup
-* A call to ```monarch.show(D)``` is made and D is a popup without the popup on popup flag set
+* A call to `monarch.show(D)` is made and D is a popup without the popup on popup flag set
-* Stack is ```[A, B, D]```
+* Stack is `[A, B, D]`
 
 ### Screen on popup
 If a screen is shown on top of one or more popups they will all be removed from the stack:
 
-* Stack is ```[A, B, C, D]``` and C and D are popups
+* Stack is `[A, B, C, D]` and C and D are popups
-* A call to ```monarch.show(E)``` is made and E is not a popup
+* A call to `monarch.show(E)` is made and E is not a popup
-* Stack is ```[A, B, E]```
+* Stack is `[A, B, E]`
 
 
 ## Transitions
-You can add optional transitions when navigating between screens. The default behavior is that screen navigation is instant but if you have defined a transition for a screen Monarch will wait until the transition is completed before proceeding. The Transition Url property described above should be the URL to a script with an ```on_message``` handlers for the following messages:
+You can add optional transitions when navigating between screens. This is [described in detail here](/README_TRANSITIONS.md).
-
-* ```transition_show_in``` (constant defined as ```monarch.TRANSITION.SHOW_IN```)
-* ```transition_show_out``` (constant defined as ```monarch.TRANSITION.SHOW_OUT```)
-* ```transition_back_in``` (constant defined as ```monarch.TRANSITION.BACK_IN```)
-* ```transition_back_out``` (constant defined as ```monarch.TRANSITION.BACK_OUT```)
-
-When a transition is completed it is up to the developer to send a ```transition_done``` (constant ```monarch.TRANSITION.DONE```) message back to the sender to indicate that the transition is completed and that Monarch can continue the navigation sequence.
-
-
-### Predefined transitions
-Monarch comes with a system for setting up transitions easily in a gui_script using the ```monarch.transitions.gui``` module. Example:
-
-	local transitions = require "monarch.transitions.gui"
-	local monarch = require "monarch.monarch"
-
-	function init(self)
-		-- create transitions for the node 'root'
-		-- the node will slide in/out from left and right with
-		-- a specific easing, duration and delay
-		self.transition = transitions.create(gui.get_node("root"))
-			.show_in(transitions.slide_in_right, gui.EASING_OUTQUAD, 0.6, 0)
-			.show_out(transitions.slide_out_left, gui.EASING_INQUAD, 0.6, 0)
-			.back_in(transitions.slide_in_left, gui.EASING_OUTQUAD, 0.6, 0)
-			.back_out(transitions.slide_out_right, gui.EASING_INQUAD, 0.6, 0)
-	end
-
-	function on_message(self, message_id, message, sender)
-		self.transition.handle(message_id, message, sender)
-		-- you can also check when a transition has completed:
-		if message_id == monarch.TRANSITION.DONE and message.transition == monarch.TRANSITION.SHOW_IN then
-			print("Show in done!")
-		end
-	end
-
-The predefined transitions provided by ```monarch.transitions.gui``` are:
-
-* ```slide_in_right```
-* ```slide_in_left```
-* ```slide_in_top```
-* ```slide_in_bottom```
-* ```slide_out_right```
-* ```slide_out_left```
-* ```slide_out_top```
-* ```slide_out_bottom```
-* ```scale_in```
-* ```scale_out```
-
-Additionally there's functionality to create a full set of transitions for common transition styles:
-
-* ```transitions.in_right_out_left(node, duration, [delay], [easing])```
-* ```transitions.in_left_out_right(node, duration, [delay], [easing])```
-* ```transitions.in_left_out_left(node, duration, [delay], [easing])```
-* ```transitions.in_right_out_right(node, duration, [delay], [easing])```
-
-**PARAMETERS**
-* ```node``` (node) - Gui node to animate.
-* ```duration``` (number) - Transition duration in seconds.
-* ```delay``` (number) - Transition delay in seconds.
-* ```easing``` (table) - Easing table, created from a function provided by ```monarch.transitions.easings```
-
-**RETURN**
-* ```instance``` - The created transition instance
-
-
-### Custom transitions
-You can create and use your own transition as long as the provided transition function has the following function signature:
-
-	custom_transition(node, to, easing, duration, delay, cb)
-
-**PARAMETERS**
-* ```node``` (node) - Gui node to animate.
-* ```to``` (vector3) - Target position.
-* ```easing``` (number) - One of gui.EASING_* constants.
-* ```duration``` (number) - Transition duration in seconds.
-* ```delay``` (number) - Transition delay in seconds.
-* ```cb``` (function) - This function must be called when the transition is completed.
-
-
-### Dynamic orientation and resized windows
-When using dynamic screen orientation together with gui layouts or using transitions on a platform where the window can be resized it's important to make sure that the created transitions adapt to the change in orientation or window size. The transition system takes care of layout changes automatically, but when it comes to changes in window size you need to notify the transition manually:
-
-	local transitions = require "monarch.transitions.gui"
-
-	function init(self)
-		self.transition = transitions.create(gui.get_node("root"))
-	end
-
-	function on_message(self, message_id, message, sender)
-		if message_id == hash("my_resize_message") then
-			self.transition.window_resized(message.width, message.height)
-		end
-	end
-
-
-### Screen stack info and transitions
-The transition message sent to the Transition Url specified in the screen configuration contains additional information about the transition. For the ```transition_show_in``` and ```transition_back_out``` messages the message contains the previous screen id:
-
-	function on_message(self, message_id, message, sender)
-		if message_id == hash("transition_show_in") or message_id == hash("transition_back_out") then
-			print(message.previous_screen)
-		end
-	end
-
-For the ```transition_show_out``` and ```transition_back_in``` messages the message contains the next screen id:
-
-	function on_message(self, message_id, message, sender)
-		if message_id == hash("transition_show_out") or message_id == hash("transition_back_in") then
-			print(message.next_screen)
-		end
-	end
-
-This information can be used to create dynamic transitions where the direction of the transition depends on the previous/next screen
 
 
 ## Screen focus gain/loss
-Monarch will send focus gain and focus loss messages if a Focus Url was provided when the screen was created. The focus gained message will contain the id of the previous screen and the focus loss message will contain the id of the next screen. Example:
+Monarch will send focus gain and focus loss messages if a focus change listener has been set using `monarch.on_focus_change(screen_id, fn)` 
 
+DEPRECATED: ~~Monarch will send focus gain and focus loss messages if a `Focus Url` (proxy) or `Focus Id` (collectionfactory) was provided when the screen was created.~~
+
+The focus gained message will contain the id of the previous screen and the focus loss message will contain the id of the next screen. Example:
+
+```lua
 	local monarch = require "monarch.monarch"
 
-	function on_message(self, message_id, message, sender)
+	function init(self)
+		monarch.on_focus_changed("foobar", function(message_id, message, sender)
 			if message_id == monarch.FOCUS.GAINED then
 				print("Focus gained, previous screen: ", message.id)
 			elseif message_id == monarch.FOCUS.LOST then
 				print("Focus lost, next screen: ", message.id)
 			end
+		end)
 	end
 
+	function on_message(self, message_id, message, sender)
+		monarch.on_message(message_id, message, sender)
+	end
+```
+
 
 ## Callbacks
-Both the ```monarch.show()``` and ```monarch.back()``` functions take an optional callback function that will be invoked when the ```transition_show_in``` (or the ```transition_back_in``` in the case of a ```monarch.back()``` call) transition is completed. The transition is considered completed when a ```transition_done``` message has been received (see section on [transitions](#transitions) above).
+Both the `monarch.show()` and `monarch.back()` functions take an optional callback function that will be invoked when the `transition_show_in` (or the `transition_back_in` in the case of a `monarch.back()` call) transition is completed.

+# Transitions
+You can add optional transitions when navigating between screens. The default behavior is that screen navigation is instant but if you have defined a transition for a screen Monarch will wait until the transition is completed before proceeding.
+
+Transitions are configured through the `monarch.on_transition(screen_id, fn)` function. The function defines for which screen to configure transitions and sets a function to be called when a transition should be started. This function must accept (message_id, message, sender) as arguments, with `message_id` defining which type of transition to start:
+
+* `transition_show_in` (constant defined as `monarch.TRANSITION.SHOW_IN`)
+* `transition_show_out` (constant defined as `monarch.TRANSITION.SHOW_OUT`)
+* `transition_back_in` (constant defined as `monarch.TRANSITION.BACK_IN`)
+* `transition_back_out` (constant defined as `monarch.TRANSITION.BACK_OUT`)
+
+When a transition is completed it is up to the developer to send a `transition_done` (constant `monarch.TRANSITION.DONE`) message back to the sender to indicate that the transition is completed and that Monarch can continue the navigation sequence.

+This property is deprecated and will be removed in a future version of Monarch.
+
+~~It is also possible to configure transitions through the `Transition Url` (proxy) or `Transition Id` (collectionfactory) property. This property must be the URL/Id to a script with an `on_message` handlers for the transition messages mentioned above.~~
+
+
+## Predefined transitions
+Monarch comes with a system for setting up transitions easily in a gui_script using the `monarch.transitions.gui` module. Example:
+
+```lua
+local transitions = require "monarch.transitions.gui"
+local monarch = require "monarch.monarch"
+
+function init(self)
+	-- create transitions for the node 'root'
+	-- the node will slide in/out from left and right with
+	-- a specific easing, duration and delay
+	local transition = transitions.create(gui.get_node("root"))
+		.show_in(transitions.slide_in_right, gui.EASING_OUTQUAD, 0.6, 0)
+		.show_out(transitions.slide_out_left, gui.EASING_INQUAD, 0.6, 0)
+		.back_in(transitions.slide_in_left, gui.EASING_OUTQUAD, 0.6, 0)
+		.back_out(transitions.slide_out_right, gui.EASING_INQUAD, 0.6, 0)
+
+	monarch.on_transition("foobar", transition)
+end
+
+function on_message(self, message_id, message, sender)
+	monarch.on_message(message_id, message, sender)
+	-- you can also check when a transition has completed:
+	if message_id == monarch.TRANSITION.DONE and message.transition == monarch.TRANSITION.SHOW_IN then
+		print("Show in done!")
+	end
+end
+```
+
+It is also possible to assign transitions to multiple nodes:
+
+```lua
+function init(self)
+	local transition = transitions.create() -- note that no node is passed to transition.create()!
+		.show_in(gui.get_node("node1"), transitions.slide_in_right, gui.EASING_OUTQUAD, 0.6, 0)
+		.show_in(gui.get_node("node2"), transitions.slide_in_right, gui.EASING_OUTQUAD, 0.6, 0)
+end
+```
+
+The predefined transitions provided by `monarch.transitions.gui` are:
+
+* `slide_in_right`
+* `slide_in_left`
+* `slide_in_top`
+* `slide_in_bottom`
+* `slide_out_right`
+* `slide_out_left`
+* `slide_out_top`
+* `slide_out_bottom`
+* `scale_in`
+* `scale_out`
+* `fade_in` - Set node alpha to fully transparent (i.e. 0.0) and fade to fully opaque (i.e. 1.0)
+* `fade_out` - Set node alpha to fully opaque (i.e. 1.0) and fade to fully transparent (i.e. 0.0)
+
+Additionally there's functionality to create a full set of transitions for common transition styles:
+
+* `transitions.in_right_out_left(node, duration, [delay], [easing])`
+* `transitions.in_left_out_right(node, duration, [delay], [easing])`
+* `transitions.in_left_out_left(node, duration, [delay], [easing])`
+* `transitions.in_right_out_right(node, duration, [delay], [easing])`
+* `transitions.fade_in_out(node, duration, [delay], [easing])`
+
+**PARAMETERS**
+* `node` (node) - Gui node to animate.
+* `duration` (number) - Transition duration in seconds.
+* `delay` (number) - Transition delay in seconds.
+* `easing` (table) - Easing table, created from a function provided by `monarch.transitions.easings`
+
+**RETURN**
+* `instance` - The created transition instance
+
+
+## Custom transitions
+You can create and use your own transition as long as the provided transition function has the following function signature:
+
+	custom_transition(node, to, easing, duration, delay, cb)
+
+**PARAMETERS**
+* `node` (node) - Gui node to animate.
+* `to` (vector3) - Target position.
+* `easing` (number) - One of gui.EASING_* constants.
+* `duration` (number) - Transition duration in seconds.
+* `delay` (number) - Transition delay in seconds.
+* `cb` (function) - This function must be called when the transition is completed.
+
+
+## Dynamic orientation and resized windows
+When using dynamic screen orientation together with gui layouts or using transitions on a platform where the window can be resized it's important to make sure that the created transitions adapt to the change in orientation or window size. The transition system takes care of layout changes automatically, but when it comes to changes in window size you need to notify the transition manually:
+
+```lua
+local transitions = require "monarch.transitions.gui"
+
+function init(self)
+	self.transition = transitions.create(gui.get_node("root"))
+end
+
+function on_message(self, message_id, message, sender)
+	if message_id == hash("my_resize_message") then
+		transition.window_resized(message.width, message.height)
+	end
+end
+```
+
+## Screen stack info and transitions
+The transition message sent transition listener script contains additional information about the transition. For the `transition_show_in` and `transition_back_out` messages the message contains the previous screen id:
+
+```lua
+function on_message(self, message_id, message, sender)
+	if message_id == hash("transition_show_in") or message_id == hash("transition_back_out") then
+		print(message.previous_screen)
+	end
+end
+```
+
+For the `transition_show_out` and `transition_back_in` messages the message contains the next screen id:
+
+```lua
+function on_message(self, message_id, message, sender)
+	if message_id == hash("transition_show_out") or message_id == hash("transition_back_in") then
+		print(message.next_screen)
+	end
+end
+```
+
+This information can be used to create dynamic transitions where the direction of the transition depends on the previous/next screen.
