    Controller again :(

    I'm trying to get my object move by pressing the left / right. On the tablet, it moves as conceived (by holding down the movement is), but on the smartphone and computer onMouseMove phase does not occur and the object moves only by successive pressing this button. In what could be the problem?

      It's my Button.lua script:
      Button = Core.class(Sprite)
 
function Button:init(upState, downState)
	self.upState = upState
	self.downState = downState
 
	self.focus = false
 
	self:updateVisualState(false)
 
	self:addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_DOWN, self.onMouseDown, self)
	self:addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_MOVE, self.onMouseMove, self)
	self:addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_UP, self.onMouseUp, self)
end
 
function Button:onMouseDown(event)
	if self:hitTestPoint(event.x, event.y) then
		self.focus = true
		self:updateVisualState(true)
		self:dispatchEvent(Event.new("click"))
		event:stopPropagation()
	end
end
 
function Button:onMouseMove(event)
	if self.focus then
		if not self:hitTestPoint(event.x, event.y) then
			self.focus = false;
			self:updateVisualState(false)
		end
				self:dispatchEvent(Event.new("click"))
 
		event:stopPropagation()
	end
end
 
function Button:onMouseUp(event)
	if self.focus then
		self.focus = false;
		self:updateVisualState(false)
		--self:dispatchEvent(Event.new("click"))
		event:stopPropagation()
	end
end
 
-- if state is true show downState else show upState
function Button:updateVisualState(state)
	if state then
		if self:contains(self.upState) then
			self:removeChild(self.upState)
		end
 
		if not self:contains(self.downState) then
			self:addChild(self.downState)
		end
	else
		if self:contains(self.downState) then
			self:removeChild(self.downState)
		end
 
		if not self:contains(self.upState) then
			self:addChild(self.upState)
		end
	end
end
      And it's part of main script:
      function onClick(event)
	if event:getTarget() == right then
	shipright()
	shipmoving()
	elseif event:getTarget() == left then
	shipleft()
	shipmoving()
	end
end
right:addEventListener("click", onClick)
left:addEventListener("click", onClick)

      Letterbox scaling mode

      Not sure if this helps, but this is the left / right control I'm using for my game:

      I believe @Tom2012 example should help you

      But to get to the bottom of the problem: MouseMove event is not fired when holding down the button. It's only fired when you move mouse/finger.

      So if you want to create continuous movement, you would need to listen to down and up event. On down event you could, for example start a timer and move ship on every timer tick and on up event cancel the timer to stop ship movement.
