Tap is not working on the whole screen.

Hi guys, I have a “tap” event listener. I need to be able to tap in anyplace on the screen, but something weird is happening there is like a rectangle in the top left side of the simulator (and device) where the tap doesn’t work (doesn’t work means it doesn’t call the “changeLines” function), I been reading the docs, but I can’t find anything related.

This code is in a scene1.lua

local function changeLines( event ) print( "HI" ) end Runtime:addEventListener( "tap", changeLines )

The scene1.lua is called from a menu.lua and shown like:

local function handleButtonEvent( event ) if ( "ended" == event.phase ) then composer.gotoScene( "scene1", "slideLeft", 800 ) end end

Any clue?? it’s driving me crazy!

What is “handleButtonEvent” part of?  It sounds to me like you have an object that’s got a touch handler on it or a widget.newButton() that’s absorbing the touch event.  Also you need to make sure to do a “return true” if you have handled the event or the events continue to propagate through the display objects.

Post the code for scene1.lua here and we’ll try to help you out.

After a couple of hours of reading my code I think I found out what was the problem… my app was calling from an scene a scene1.lua file, but that scene1.lua was not really an scene, it was just a lua file. So it was not returning a “return scene”. And I think that messed something up. I migrated all my scene1.lua to a real scene file following the template shown here: http://coronalabs.com/blog/2014/01/21/introducing-the-composer-api-plus-tutorial/ and now it’s working perfectly fine!

Thanks a lot guys for your answers! It’s hard to be a beginner!!
