edit: on the event handler i needed to change it from a mouse event to a touch event.

hi i am useing the example as3 that was given in one of the examples (see below) i am first runing flosc then running the TUIO simulator (so that i can simulate a touch panel) i am then runing my flash example from within FlashDeveloper.

everything seems fine the mouse works but when i try click useing the simulator i am not able to click on my square to get to it do anything
yet the record buttons work fine??

anyone know what i am doing wrong?

package
{
// General Imports…
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.text.TextFormat;
import flash.text.TextField;
import flash.text.TextFieldAutoSize;

// Internal Library Imports…
import com.sample.SampleSquare;

// External Library Imports… (you did not write)
import gs.TweenLite;
import flash.events.TouchEvent;
import flash.events.TUIO;
import flash.events.TUIOCursor;
import flash.events.TUIOObject;
import flash.events.TUIOSimulator;
import flash.events.TUIOEvent;

// Begin Class
public class Main extends Sprite
{
// Embed Font
[Embed(source = “../deploy/Arial.ttf”, fontFamily = “n_font")]
private var n_font:Class;
private var n_format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
private var n_text:TextField = new TextField();
private var n_square:SampleSquare = new SampleSquare();

// Constructor Method - Adds a Custom Square (SampleSquare)
public function Main()
{
TUIO.init(this, ‘localhost’, 3000, ‘’, true);
this.addChild( n_square );
n_square.x = stage.stageWidth / 2;
n_square.y = stage.stageHeight / 2;

n_square.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, rotateObj);
n_square.addEventListener(TUIOEvent.TUIO_DOWN, rotateObj);
drawText();
}

// Adds Text to the Square
private function drawText():void
{
n_format.font= “n_font”;
// Not Shown…
}

// Tween Square with External Library (gs.TweenLite)
private function rotateObj(e:MouseEvent):void
{
Trace(’click’;
TweenLite.to(n_square, 1, {rotation:360,tint:Math.random()*0xFFFFFF};
}
}// End Class
}

I am no expert by far and I dont pretend to understand the errors above. What you could try is instead of importing all your events seperately use this line;

import flash.events,*; - for mouse events etc

and then again;

import flash.events.*; - for the TouchEvents

This will import the whole package and save you a bit of typing.

It might help?

i got rid of the errors by noticeing that i wasnt useing TUIOEvent.TUIO_DOWN

now that i have changed it is is just not doing anything???

at least im not geting an error i guess

So does it work with the Test.exe sample file (ripples) that is in the simulator package?

i assume you mean if i could get test.exe working when running flosc and the simulator and yeh i could so i dont think that its a flash security setting *puzzled look*

Ok well you will have to hope one of the elite see this thread....

Good luck

thanks anyway

have been looking at TUIO.as and notice that they use TouchEvent.CLICK for example now im confused :-s

CLICK = MouseDown AND MouseUp again
MOUSE_DOWN = MouseDown
MOUSE_UP = MouseUp etc…

have sorted it out silly me i had not changed the eMouseEvent to eTouchEvent

thanks for your help now that i have something basic lets see what i can get this to do and learn some AS3 :-s
