Touch event only fires once

Hi, even if I’m a developer, I’m a Corona noob, so I beg your pardon in advance if I’m asking something trivial.

I’m modifying a KWIK project and I need to bind a graphical object (an image) to an event, so that when I touch it (click), the event fires.

The code I use is the following:

bkg.id = “appBackgroundImg”

local function onObjectTouch( event )

    if event.phase == “began” then

        print( "Touch event began on: " … event.target.id )

    end

    return true

end

bkg:addEventListener( “touch”, onObjectTouch )

I read the print message in my Mac console.

Problem is this event (in simulator, I don’t know once deployed to a regular device) only fires the first time I click. In any other case it silently fails or it is cancelled.

Can you help me understand what’s happening?

How is bkg being created?   Your code looks right to me.

I found what it was happening: the Mac Console doesn’t show you any click anytime you click. It creates a sort of buffer, then after a while (a variable number of seconds) it tells you how many time the last event happened (being the click event the last fired event).

Thanks for your kind reply.
