touch events

#1

Hi,

I currently have a runtime listener running in the background of my app:

[lua]Runtime:addEventListener( “touch”, onTouch )[/lua]

This detects touches made on the screen by the user.

I also have another item on the screen, an item called ‘rect’. When rect is tapped, I want a function to be called, so I use an event listener like so:
[lua]rect:addEventListener(“tap”, recttap ) [/lua]

The problem is when pressing my rect, the runtime listener fires as well. Is there any way to change this?
Thanks,

At the end of your recttap function, add the following line:

[lua]return true[/lua]

This prevents the event from propagating. One issue you might run into is that your Runtime listener is listening for a “touch” event, while rect is listening for a “tap” event. Since those are technically separate events, adding return true might not work, because a touch and a tap could be considered two separate events. You’ll have to test that to find out.
