How do I make swipe gesture

Hello,

I want to try to use swipe gesture, when the user swipe up the character go up, if he swap right the character go right and so on. I tried so far what I found here on the forum and the closest one was this prntscr(dot)com/36ny34 but if I sipe up it goes on diagonally(even the lightest movement on the X axis activate the left/right swipe).Any ideea on how to do it?

Sorry for my english - i don't understand everything you wrote, but i hope my .capx can help

Lacking the plugin text drop shadow to start it ....

Again without Text-Drop-Shadow

Really nice Cherico thank you very much ^^

thanks Cherico
