I’m using the sample code slideview for my flashcard app. I want to be able to play a different sound depending on the location of the tap.
I’m currently checking if DragDistance is zero and if Touch.y < 246 play sound under the event.phase == “ended” function. But I’m getting weird bugs when I put the app on my iPhone.
Is there a way to do this using the Tap EventListener?
Thanks,

I’ve never done it, but I recall seeing something about someone using an invisible object and then setting a tap event for that object. You’d just position it at the location where you want to watch for a tap.
Something like…
local foo = display.newRect(0, 294, 320, 480-294)
foo.isVisible = false
foo.isHitTestable = true
foo.addEventListener("touch", fooGotHit)
That should put a tappable (invisible) square at the bottom of the screen.
Maybe that will get you headed in the right direction?

Okay, that didn’t work. Even though the rect is set to invisible, I’m still seeing a white square on the screen.
I did get it to work with this kind of thing:
[code]local function removeCan(event)
if event.phase == “began” and event.y > 294 then
can.isVisible = false
end
end
Runtime:addEventListener(“touch”, removeCan)[/code]
…but you mentioned having problems with that kind of approach so maybe someone will come alone with a better answer.

payjo,
Could you just create a fully transparent png graphic file the size you need, place it in the location and then add a touch event to it? I am not sure if that is any better, but it should work as well.
