In my air projects I am using MouseEvents (MouseEvent.CLICK)  for touch functions.

It is working well on Android devices but, it is not working on iOS devices properly.

here are the videos for Android and iOS:

Did this ever get resolved?  I have an app waiting to go to the app store right now but I can't release it until I get this figured out.  I'm noticing that the MouseEvent firing isn't consistent.  The ActionBar is the problem area for me.  My application is using RobotLegs and FB 4.6 (MXML based app)  but I don't think that has anything to do with my issue.

Here are my trace statements from testing which actions get fired and if the action I am trying to take was successful or not.

1 - Works

mouseOver

mouseDown

focusIn

buttonDown

click

mouseOut

touchTap

2 - Works

mouseOver

mouseDown

focusIn

buttonDown

click

mouseOut

touchTap

3 - Works

mouseOver

mouseDown

focusIn

buttonDown

click

mouseOut

touchTap

4 - nothing happening, no click or touchTap event

mouseOver

mouseDown

focusIn

buttonDown

mouseOut

5 - nothing happening, no click or touchTap event

mouseOver

mouseDown

buttonDown

mouseOut

6 - nothing happening, no click or touchTap event

mouseOver

mouseDown

buttonDown

mouseOut

7 - Working, repeated actionbar clicks

mouseOver

mouseDown

buttonDown

click

mouseOut

touchTap

Partial code block:

<s:navigationContent>

  <s:Button id="btnList" skinClass="spark.skins.mobile.BeveledActionButtonSkin" includeIn="map" width="40" height="40"

                                                    click="trace('click');dispatchEvent(event);"

                                                    touchTap="trace('touchTap')"

                                                    buttonDown="trace('buttonDown')"

                                                    focusIn="trace('focusIn')"

                                                    focusOut="trace('focusOut')"

                                                    mouseDown="trace('mouseDown')"

                                                    mouseOut="trace('mouseOut')"

                                                    mouseOver="trace('mouseOver')">

  <s:icon>

                                                  <fxg:iconList width="17" height="17" />

  </s:icon>

  </s:Button>

</s:navigationContent>

Any help or suggestion will be greatly appreciated!!!

Also, the TouchEvent.TOUCH_TAP doesn't solve the issue we are having.

Hi Markus ,

I am unable to reproduce this issue(with the provided code here on ios 4.3.5 and 5.1) with 3.2 build but I'll suggest you to use the latest build 3.3 available at http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/air3-3.html . If you still face the issue then please let us know .

Yeah, I'm seeing the same problem with MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP. Rendermode is set to auto, and I'm using the AIR 3.2 RC compiler.

Looks like the iOS stuff is getting confused about Z-ordering. If I have a movie clip on top of another movie clip, sometimes tapping will send the mouse event to the clip underneath the one that should be getting the event. For example, I have a big "PAUSE" movieclip that covers the entire screen, and tapping on it (i.e. the MOUSE_UP event) will dismiss it. If I tap on it, it won't get mouse-events, sometimes requiring a half-dozen taps. Meanwhile the stuff underneath the pause movieclip will receive the events.

Note that I am only seeing this on iOS. Android and Desktop are working properly.

Please provide sample code so I can test. Because all that you said - don't work for me.

also dont hesitate to use MovieClip.mouseChildren = false for included MCs to eachothers and MovieClip.mouseEnabled=false if you don't want affect MouseEvents for MCs.

Also for MobileDevices better use TouchEvent.TOUCH_TAP rather MouseEvent.CLICK

Air 3.1, currently all work prefect.

I use GPU mode, iOS 5.0.1 and iOS 4.3.3

MouseEvent.CLICK work prefect it you add this string Multitouch.inputMode = MultitouchInputMode.TOUCH_POINT; to your init class. Because by default in iOS used gestures.

Hi,

What is the renderMode in your application - GPU or CPU? Could you please compile a small project that can demonstrate the bug and send it to me at sanika@adobe.com?

Thanks,

Sanika
