One EventListener for multiple events

Etere

Hello,

The past few weeks I've been learning about Gideros and Lua. I've been trying to figure out how to use one addEventListener for multiple events. I came across something called bubbling in JS, but haven't found a way to do it with lua. Is what I'm trying to do even possible with just lua?

Hi!
I don't get what exactly do you mean, syntax sugar for these declarations?

self:addEventListener(Event.TOUCHES_BEGIN, self.onTouchesBegin, self) self:addEventListener(Event.TOUCHES_MOVE, self.onTouchesMove, self) self:addEventListener(Event.TOUCHES_END, self.onTouchesEnd, self)

Or do you mean one event function for different types of events - like this:

function mouse(e) if e.type=="mouseDown" then -- here just mouse down elseif e.type=="mouseUp" then -- here mouse up else -- here everything else end   -- this bit will be executed by mouseDown, mouseUp, mouseMove etc end   stage:addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_HOVER,mouse) stage:addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_DOWN,mouse) stage:addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_UP,mouse) stage:addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_MOVE,mouse) stage:addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_WHEEL,mouse)

I don't know if there is a function to add all events for a particular object to a single function in one call, might be useful though.. eg

function stageEvents(e) -- here will get all events for the stage object end stage:addEventsListener(stageEvents)

I may have worded it wrong. I'll try to explain what I'm trying to do.

Okay so each block will be clickable.

My goal is to click on a box then click on the adjacent box and have it draw a line. What I don't want is to have a bunch of EventListeners for every box.

multitouch class - I gave you the above link

Also in gideros there is an example
"event.touch.id"
