Tap or click on left or right side of screen shud create timer and shud increase sidescroll value but my formulation is not working... <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_sad.gif" alt=":(" title="Sad">

I think the issue is on "add" 0.5 to DoubleTouchTime. You have to set it. Because On any touch is like every tick i think. It will add it maaany times if you touch.

Do you have to create the timer on tap? What if you already had one and just use the set timer event on tap?

Nah, thats not it...

Currently, Timer dont even get created at all untill i comment out statement i pointed out:

Timer: X Is on Layer 0

You are destroying the Timer you have at the layout on layout start.

So what happens is, when you click, there's no object Timer at all.

When you check if it is NOT on layer 0 it isn't because it doesn't exist.

When you check if it IS on layer 0 , well, it isn't either, there is no timer.

In programming that would be similar to getting a null reference error, you are trying to get something that doesn't exist.

huh.. thats not it ...

please try capx

I did, and this is what happens

can you please post me the corrected capx?

Try explaining what exactly you are trying to do, I might be able to help

well basicly i want to extend sidescroll value from 220 to 280 for as long as theres "timer" on screen

that "timer" is used as quick double tap controller

If he exist than doubletaping (rapid taping) is active and if not exist then its back to regular tap.

meanwhile iw find out that local variable is not working and i changed it to global.

Just create the timer on start of the layout.

Then use "set timer" and "on timer", instead of "if destroyed".

Made some modifications to your capx while waiting, check out if it helps you.

(remove the space, i can't post links)
