Question

I’m trying to do that when the user touch (not click with mouse the program runs on android)
the code gets the (position of) touch x and y (like _xmouse but it dosen’t work on android)
How can I do it?
Thank’s!

You have to set up an event listener function for a TouchEvent, and in the event you get as a parameter you can use the following properties:

• stageX: The horizontal coordinate at which the event occurred in global stage coordinates.

• stageY: The vertical coordinate at which the event occurred in global stage coordinates.

• localX: The horizontal coordinate at which the event occurred relative to the containing sprite.

• localY: The vertical coordinate at which the event occurred relative to the containing sprite.

for example:

mySprite.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_BEGIN, onTouchBegin);


function onTouchBegin(e:TouchEvent)
{
     trace("local coords (relatives to mySprite): " + e.localX+" "+e.localY);
     trace("global coords: " + e.stageX+" "+e.stageY);

}
