detecting two finger (or pinch) touch

Hi Brent,

Thanks for the update. All of this is mysterious to me. I can;t find the info you have.

I know these guys are working to make Corona the best product in its class. I understand what it takes to make a best of breed.

Hi, frank sorry to hijack your post but question is the same as mine except i need multitouch. I’ll be quick. :slight_smile:

Brent how to do you go about controlling what touch is the touch that moves, ended or cancelled. I.e two touches on a display object that will trigger 2 other displays objects to move in the direction of the 2 touch points. When the touches move how do I know what touch is which after its began?

Does that make sense? [import]uid: 118379 topic_id: 32178 reply_id: 129274[/import]

Hi Frank,
I checked the bug database on the site and the status is marked as “active”. That’s a good thing… it means it’s “on the table” versus “we’ll look into it eventually”. The case number is actually 17609, with the sub-case being 15651 as was noted to you.

I fully understand that you’re treading water while this is being fixed, and while it’s probably little consolation, are there other aspects of your app which you could work on in the meantime? I know my own projects have hundreds of loose ends that need to be addressed at any given time, and if I temporarily stop one thread, I can choose from a dozen others to work on.

Considering that the bug is, indeed, being actively investigated by Corona, perhaps you can take this approach. Of course it’s up to you… if this is outright a show-stopper and nothing else can be done on your end until it’s fixed, then I suppose that checking out an alternative development platform is the option you’re left with. :frowning:

@Beloudest,
Each touch returns an ID that you can use to track it, thus knowing which one is moving/ended/began. The documentation is in the link below, and there’s also a sample project for Multitouch in your local Corona application folder (can’t remember which sub-folder, but shouldn’t be hard to locate).
