App doesn't detect touch event in a specific screen area

local rect = display.newRect(870,100,10,10) means that the rect size is width=10, height=10 located at position x=870 y=100.

Also the anchor points are by default 0.5 which means the center-point of the rect will be positioned at the x,y coordinates given to newRect()

Yes I know. By the way, let’s say that the screen width is 1200, and the height is 800, if rect.x < 600 (width/2) it works, but If rect.x is > than 600, it won’t. I’ve also tried (using iPhone 4/4s resolution in landscape mode [960x640]) to use a 960x640px image (adding the same event listener as above) and on the right side (the area marked with “X”) it doesn’t perform the event associated.

OK try this:

local rect = display.newRect(display.contentCenterX, display.contentCenterY, 1200, 800) local function helloWorld() print("Hello World") end rect:addEventListener("touch", helloWorld)

Tried, same as before. I’m using the director class, could be that?

#25

Aha! I believe so.

As far as I know, the director class isn’t Graphics 2.0 compatible. (I’ve never used it myself)

#26

yes director is the problem
if you search the forum you will find how to get around this
