09 | How to use touch event

Game.layers.js

Edit the Game.layers.js

Add to sprite that has been extended the listener.

In a complex project the ideal is to create another file Game.listeners.js to isolate the events in a separate file. And then import into projects.json

    var sprite2 = cc.Sprite.extend({
        ctor:function() {
            this._super();
            this.initWithFile("HelloWorld.png");
            this.setScale(0.5);
            cc.eventManager.addListener(listener.clone(), this);
        }
    });
    
    var listener = cc.EventListener.create({
         event: cc.EventListener.TOUCH_ONE_BY_ONE, swallowTouches: true,
         onTouchBegan: function (touch, event) {
             sprite2 = event.getCurrentTarget();
             var location = sprite2.convertToNodeSpace(touch.getLocation());
             var targetSize = sprite2.getContentSize();
             var targetRectangle = cc.rect(0, 0, targetSize.width, targetSize.height);
             if (cc.rectContainsPoint(targetRectangle, location)) {
     
                layer.removeChild(sprite2);      
                var tag = sprite2.getTag();     
     
             }
         }
    });

The same listener can be added for different sprites. To know which sprite was clicked use the tags:
var tag = sprite2.getTag ();

Events:

onTouchBegan: on press onTouchEnded: on release onTouchMoved: on press and move onTouchCancelled: on canceling
