TouchPhase

public class
loom2d.events.TouchPhase

Inheritance
Object

Description

A class that provides constant values for the phases of a touch object.

A touch moves through at least the following phases in its life:

BEGAN -> MOVED -> ENDED

Furthermore, a touch can enter a STATIONARY phase. That phase does not trigger a touch event itself, and it can only occur in multitouch environments. Picture a situation where one finger is moving and the other is stationary. A touch event will be dispatched only to the object under the moving finger. In the list of touches of that event, you will find the second touch in the stationary phase.

Finally, there's the HOVER phase, which is exclusive to mouse input. It is the equivalent of a MouseOver event in Flash when the mouse button is not pressed.
