Touch Move
The ‘touch move’ event is the equivalent of a simple ‘mouse move’ event. When a finger is placed on the screen and then moved, this event fires.
Using the Touch Move Gesture
The ‘touch move’ event is used in the same context(s) as a ‘mouse move’ in a traditional user interface (UI). Touch move may be used to create custom drag events.
Mechanics and Code Samples
To register a ‘touch move’ event, a finger must have previously touched down and then been moved across the touch screen surface.
1 2 3 4 5 6 | element.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_MOVE, touchMoveHandler); private function touchMoveHandler(e:TouchEvent):void { trace("e value:",e.value); } |
Parameters
All touch and gesture events have a localX and localY (relative) position as well as a stageX and stageY (absolute) position.
