Touchscreen not recognized

Hello,

I'm using HTML5 canvas with Animate to make an application that will use a touchscreen.

My problem is that something like on click buttons and whatever needs the "mouse" to be pressed down for some time does not work.

The button will triger the click function however it wont show the "down" state.

I tried to enable touch to see if that would help but it does not, in fact it seems to not detect that I have a touch device:

console.log("Enable touch: "+createjs.Touch.enable(stage)); ==> returns false

if(createjs.Touch.isSupported()){ ==> does not trigger
console.log("touch is supported");
}

I'm running this in windows and the same thing happens when I run it on my target device (a brightsign player that can run HTML5).

use mousedown events, not click events.

Mousedown events triger just like click events, thats why I can't detect someone holding the button or swiping the screen etc.

if you need to use more touch events then you're probably out-of-luck with the built-in easeljs methods if it fails to recognize your device and will need to create your own, https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Touch_events/Using_Touch_Events
