Hi,

So I need to have the user be able press 2 buttons/objects at the same time. It is a game controller: one to look around and one to walk around.

I know that we still (or at least could) can not check this through the emulator but I am using the tablet for debugging and I still can not get it working.

I have this line as the first line of my main:

Multitouch.inputMode = MultitouchInputMode.TOUCH_POINT;

And my buttons have these lines:

MyButton.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_TAP, MyFunction);

The function is defined as:

private function MyFunction(event:TouchEvent):void
		{
			//Do something
		}

Yet, I still can not press two of them at the same time. I must also add that there are also mouse-based buttons in the app. Any input is more than welcome.

I use multitouch in several of my apps, and it works fine. Though the only things I do are as following:

Multitouch.inputMode = MultitouchInputMode.TOUCH_POINT;
            stage.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_BEGIN, onTouchBegin);
            stage.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_TAP, onTouchTap);
            stage.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_END, onTouchEnd);

I don't add the touchevent to specific elements, I add them to the stage (performance is ok, running in gpu mode)

In my event handler, I additionally need to read event.stageX and event.stageY to get the correct coordinates. Then I take my elements and check if they were in the touched zone(s)

Hmm never thought of adding event listener to the whole stage... I wonder if it makes the difference.

I also have TOUCH_BEGIN,TOUCH_MOVE, TOUCH_END and TOUCH_OUT they work as they should with a single finger...

On the PlayBook I used them on Objects as well without an issue.

I saw a lot of good iOS tutorials on YouTube for AS3 + Multitouch that also work on QNX if you need some code examples.

Edit:. I used tbese when first starting on multitouch and PB.

I did not have time to transfer everything to stage but I will check the iOS tutorials. Also thanks for letting me know that it works on the objects as well (as it should).

After rewriting the app without objects I realized that I had written the code such that whenever a button is pressed the values that other buttons are sending become 0... So multitouch has been working..
