Just wanted to know if it would be possible to detect and execute code when player swipes up on a particular part of the screen. For example when the user swipes up on the right hand side of my game it would start the game. [import]uid: 6134 topic_id: 27608 reply_id: 327608[/import]

Sure, there are a couple of different options.

  1. You could have a touch event on the whole screen and in the event handler and see if event.x and event.y are in the area you want it, if not ignore the swipe.

  2. Create an invisible rectangle that is your hit target. Set it’s .isHitTestable property to true and add a touch handler to the invisible target.

So what you are saying is for my purposes I can create an invisible shape and when the user click any where on that shop it executes code ? [import]uid: 6134 topic_id: 27608 reply_id: 112417[/import]
