addEventListener and NewLine not working

Hi,

is it possible to add an event listener to a vector line?

The follwing does not work:

function lineTouch()
print(“Line touched”)
end

local myLine = display.newLine(50, 50, 50, 150)
myLine.width = 12
myLine:setColor(0, 180, 180)
myLine:addEventListener( “touch”, lineTouch )

Am I doing something wrong, or can’t lines have events on them?

I also tried adding the line to agroup, this didn’t work either…

Anyone have a workaround, or is it just not possible?

no touch events on lines. feature is not applicable. no timeline to fix.

I would either use a graphic for the line, or else make a very narrow rectangle that looks like a line. No promises but either of those could work. [import]uid: 6175 topic_id: 9576 reply_id: 35011[/import]
