edge swipe detection

[ladyb314]

Hello,

I am currently using the WONDERFUL PanelScroll example shown for tweenlite which allows me to swipe/flick through my images. I have a little twist I need to add on this though and am not sure how.

 

I want to detect where the user started the swipe from. What I need is a true "Edge" swipe. So if the user swipes from the middle this should not count as a swipe, just from the edges. I have been googling for days now and don't see how to achieve this. I would guess it has something to do with my touch boundaries, but I'm not sure how to tweak this using the Panel Scroll example.

 

Any ideas?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. by the way I LOVE your products!!!!

I can't really rework those files right now, but I would suggest that in the mouseDownHandler you record the mouseX in a variable called startSwipeX.

 

in the mouseUpHandler see if

 

Math.abs(mouseX - startSwipeX) // will give you the distance of your swipe

 

is a value close enough to the width of your stage. hopefully that gives you some ideas.

 

also if you are using TouchEvents I believe they have a stageX value that you can use
