Touch Question: Finger Down

Games
1

I’m wondering how I go about checking if the users finger is down, so far as I can see there is a start end and move class but nothing for when the users finger is simply touching the screen.

It is touching when there has been a “began” phase but not a subsequent “ended” phase.

[code]

local userTouchingScreen = false

local onTouch = function( event )

if event.phase == “began” then
userTouchingScreen = true
elseif event.phase == “ended” or event.phase == “cancelled” then
userTouchingScreen = false
end

end

local onUpdate = function( event )

print( "User touching screen: ", userTouchingScreen )

end

Runtime:addEventListener( “touch”, onTouch )
Runtime:addEventListener( “enterFrame”, onUpdate )

Cheers for the quick response!
I was starting the think that that was all there was; not that it makes much difference in the end.
