I want to build a menu system which is scrolled through on touch devices by swiping. However I need a way to check if a player has tapped a link or if they just pressed on the link/button/image as a starting point of their swipe. I've been thinking on this for a couple days now but just cannot think of a solution.

Has anyone got any suggestions?

Cheers

Start a timer on touch start. Then on touch end if the timer is less than 0.2 (?) seconds then it's a tap otherwise it's a hold/swipe.

Also you can store the x,y values on touch start and if they're the same on touch end then it's a tap and if they're different it's a swipe. You might want to allow for a little variation.
