Cocos2D-X FadeIn and FadeOut Not Applying to Children of a Sprite

The default behaviour for Cocos2D-X during a FadeIn / FadeOut action is that the only the Sprite will fade in/out, and if it has children, they will be unaffected.

In order for a FadeIn / FadeOut action to apply to the children of a Sprite, call "setCascadeOpacityEnabled(true)" on the parent Sprite.
