[iOS] TouchEvent-dragline not working

[Bluepear_Design]

I want to draw a line from the TOUCH_BEGIN anywhere on the screen then DRAG it out to TOUCH_END. Then it should disappear(which it does not). But he line isn't working! It keeps starting from the top left not where I put my finger!

Help really appreciated!

import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.TouchEvent;
Multitouch.inputMode = MultitouchInputMode.TOUCH_POINT;
this.stage.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_BEGIN, onTouchBegin );
this.stage.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_MOVE, onTouchMove );
this.stage.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_END, onTouchEnd );

var line:Sprite;
var xPos:int;
var yPos:int;
line = new Sprite();
addChild(line);

stage.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_BEGIN, onTouchBegin);
stage.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_END, onTouchEnd);
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, enterHandler);


function enterHandler(e:Event):void
{
	xPos = this.stageX;
	yPos = this.stageY;

}

function onTouchBegin(event:TouchEvent):void
{
	line.graphics.lineStyle(2);
	stage.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_MOVE, onTouchMove);
	stage.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, enterHandler);

}
function onTouchEnd(event:TouchEvent):void
{
	line.graphics.clear();
	stage.removeEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_MOVE, onTouchMove);
	stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, enterHandler);
}
function onTouchMove(event:TouchEvent):void
{
	line.graphics.clear();
	line.graphics.moveTo(xPos,yPos);
	line.graphics.lineStyle(15);
	line.graphics.lineTo(event.stageX, event.stageY);
}

function enterHandler(e:Event):void
{
	xPos = this.stageX;
	yPos = this.stageY;

}

always top left.

Thanks peptobismol.

I guessed it was that part of the code but because I'm new to touchevents I'm struggling to find the correct function.

... if I had this.mouseX & this.mouseY it would work (via a mouse) but for a touch events I'm stuck.

Thanks

touch and mouseevents are basically the same thing. It's actually more efficient to use mouse events.

It works via Mouse events but not when I put it on the iPad!

Here's the code. It goes really weird on the iPad. Why?? Hence why I tried to change it to touch.


Code:

import flash.events.Event;

var line:Sprite;
var xPos:int;
var yPos:int;
line = new Sprite();
addChild(line);

stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,mouse DownHandler);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,mouseUp Handler);
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, enterHandler);


function enterHandler(e:Event):void{
xPos = this.mouseX;
yPos = this.mouseY;

}

function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
line.graphics.lineStyle(2);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,movem ent);
stage.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, enterHandler);

}
function mouseUpHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
line.graphics.clear();
stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,mo vement);
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, enterHandler);
}
function movement(event:MouseEvent):void {
line.graphics.clear();
line.graphics.moveTo(xPos,yPos);
line.graphics.lineStyle(15);
line.graphics.lineTo(mouseX,mouseY);
}

mouse DownHandler

no space

Hi peptobismol

Sorry it copied across badly last night... did it quickly before I went out so I didn't check.

Here's the code again. Work a treat on my computer but not on the iPad!

Thanks again

import flash.events.Event;

var line:Sprite;
var xPos:int;
var yPos:int;
line = new Sprite();
addChild(line);

stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,mouseDownHandler);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,mouseUpHandler);
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, enterHandler);


function enterHandler(e:Event):void{
	xPos = this.mouseX;
	yPos = this.mouseY;
	
}

function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
line.graphics.lineStyle(2);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,movement);
stage.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, enterHandler);

}
function mouseUpHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
line.graphics.clear();
stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,movement);
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, enterHandler);
}
function movement(event:MouseEvent):void {
line.graphics.clear();
line.graphics.moveTo(xPos,yPos);
line.graphics.lineStyle(15); 
line.graphics.lineTo(mouseX,mouseY);
}

try

import flash.events.Event;

var line:Sprite;
var xPos:int;
var yPos:int;
line = new Sprite();
addChild(line);

stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,mouseDownHandler);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,mouseUpHandler);



function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
line.graphics.lineStyle(2);
xPos = this.mouseX;
yPos = this.mouseY;
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,movement);

}

function mouseUpHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
line.graphics.clear();
stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,movement);

}
function movement(event:MouseEvent):void {
line.graphics.clear();
line.graphics.moveTo(xPos,yPos);
line.graphics.lineStyle(15); 
line.graphics.lineTo(mouseX,mouseY);
}


stop();

If that doesn't work, switch back to the touch events.
