This is a helpful tutorial and your site is cool. I want to ask is there a way to touch objects on stage and move it to another object to play a movie clip similar to hit test?

Thanks

Some great work looking into TUIO / Flash possibilities!

I have been down a similar route to yours with “Add, Move and Remove MovieClip from Library via Touch Point” method. Although I have noticed some poor performance with this method when testing with SimTouch and other TUIO simulators. After about 5-10 seconds the movieclip stops dragging and only occasionally picks up the point again.

My solution was to use the RotatableScalable class and add the movieclip into a RotatableScalable object. I am using a PNG sequence particle effect for the object with additional connectors (like your cats cradle).

This works great but I have stumbled across the inevitable problem. The touch is still invoked on the “onTouchDown” listener event and adds an object to the screen, but the touch to add the object to the screen has no relation to the RotatableScalable object added. The RotatableScalable object can be dragged but this is independant to the original touch. You have to remove the original touch (a double click to create permanent multiple touchs in SimTouch) in order to remove the RotatableScalable object.

In conclusion, im close but no cigar. Do you know of any way to translate the initial touch to the placed object? Or even simply a way of artificially removing and adding a touch in order to make a visually “seemless” contact with the object below?

Bit of a rant I know, but im just wondering if you would know.

Many thanks
