You just use sprites. Then use events so when you touch the sprite, or are touching the sprite, do the action (move, jump, whatever).

Try This. Slide (Click mouse drag up) to move the paddle up, opposite for down.

What type of object? How is it moving?

In other words, is it a player controlled movement? Or moving via bullet bahavior, sine, etc?

No idea, but I pulled my hair out the first time I used an array and set them to 0 :). Glad that worked for you.

Sure, if you calculating a swipe up and down (y axis) setup 2 global variables. StartTouch and EndTouch

On Touch Start set StartTouch to touch.y

On Touch End set EndTouch to touch.y

If StartTouch > EndTouch then

The user swiped up

Else

The User Swiped down

Let me know if that makes sense.

How are you wanting to move them, with the arrow keys? Clicking?

You could give each one an instance variable to turn them on or off. When one is on, all the others are off.

I just tried the same thing and it worked (using 129).

Make any changes to the properties of the array? Like if you set the Height and Depth to 0 instead of 1, this could happen.

Oh ok, so you don't want the paddle locked into the x or y coordinate of the the touch, you just want it to move up or down when you swipe.

Have you looked into the On Any Touch Start and on Any Touch End events? You could calculate the start and stop of the swipe and determine which way the user swiped.

Make sense?

Yup, give them the bullet behavior set the speed.

You can put up a sprite wall and just set it to invisible, then check for the collision to that as well.

Wasn't sure what version your project is in, but here is a saved capx.

Your CAPX

Notice those events on the bottom at INVERTED events, so it's saying NOT on a platform or NOT moving kill the sound.
