Question

I there a way to “detect” if a particular sprite is within the viewable area of a scrollRect?

I have a list of thumbnails in a scrollRect and I only want to load images for these thumbnails if and when the thumbnail sprite is visible in the scrollRect.

Any tips or suggestions on how to accomplish something like this?

You could always use

if (Sprite.getBounds().intersects(scrollRect)) {
    //In view
}

as a test. Basic rectangle intersection.
