How do I make a rectangle untouchable until event.phase == “ended”.

Description:

There are two rectangles in the group. If there was a touch on the group, the group should be untouchable until the end the touch. With setting alpha 0 it is not working.

Code is below:

function touchListener(event)     if (event.phase == "began") then         --do something and then do untouchable rectGroup     elseif (event.phase == "ended") then         --do rectGroup visiable to touch     end end rectGroup = display.newGroup(); local rect1 = display.newRect(rectGroup, 0, 0, 74, 308); local rect2 = display.newRect(rectGroup, 0, 308, 97, 254); rectGroup:addEventListener("touch", touchListener);

Im not sure what you mean but try getting 

rectGroup:removeEventListener("touch", touchListener);

where/when you want it not to be touch able.?

I would do:

event.target:removeEventListener("touch", touchListener);

That way if you have multiple objects that share the touchListener function, it will remove the one being touched.

I want to do group untouchable while user finger touching the group. And after touching the end make this group able to touch.

If I remove listener, then I can not listen phase “ended”.

So if one figer is touching another one can’t.
