Hi,

2 want to display 2, or 4 rects and connect then with an touch event, but “t_R[i]:touch( event )” is not working.

What did i worng ?

local t_R = {

 display.newRect(  0, 0, display.contentWidth / 2, display.contentHeight ),
 display.newRect(  display.contentWidth / 2, 0, display.contentWidth, display.contentHeight )
}

–local t_R = {
– display.newRect(  0, 0, display.contentWidth/2, display.contentHeight/2 ),
– display.newRect(  display.contentWidth / 2, 0, display.contentWidth, display.contentHeight/2 ),
– display.newRect(  0, display.contentHeight/2, display.contentWidth / 2, display.contentHeight ),
– display.newRect(  display.contentWidth / 2, display.contentHeight/2, display.contentWidth, display.contentHeight )
–}

 for i = 1, #t_R do
  t_R[i]:setFillColor(i+i*10, i+i*20, i+i*20)
  print (“filled”)
– function not working
  function t_R[i]:touch( event )
     if event.phase == “began” then
      print (“touched”)
      return true
     end
   end – func
  t_R[i]:addEventListener( “touch”, t_R[i] )
 end
