mouseUp event on mobile

[SteveTX]

I have actions for a field object based on event mouseUp. This works in the IDE, but not on mobile environment. Is there a different event that should be used for mobile environments?

If you don't need multitouch but just single touch, I thing that you could use mouseUp, mouseDown, mouseMove and so on.. can you post the code that don't works, maybe depends on the properties of the field? Is it editable?

PS
Search for touch in the dictionary for mobile specific interactions

found the issue. i am creating the images on the fly, and the object script disappears upon destroy/resize. now to figure out how to programatically add event code to object scripts...

Hi Steve,

most of the time it is not necessary to set a script at runtime.

You could either use the messagePath and put your mouseUp script at (for example) card level:

in the card script:

on mouseUp
-- check if an image has been touched
if word 1 of the name of the target is "image" then
-- do stuff
end if
end mouseUp

or (more elegantly) set a behavior. Script needs to be in a button. Then on creation of the image set the behavior of image "theImage" to the long ID of button "theBehavior"

Hope that helps,

Malte
