Hi to you all,
I wonder how I can repeat the same action (some scripts) as long as the stylus touches the PPC screen and stops when it is removed (to be more precise, I would like to put an "autofire" option in my "shoot them up!" game so that the user does not have to tap too much on his screen to play: my game uses on screen buttons).
When I use the "mouse button down" event, the action plays only once.
Many thanks to you all and long life to GE!

Since I don't have Game Editor Pro installed here at work, I'm theorizing that you can institute a global variable that will be turned ON for a Mouse Down event and and OFF for a separate Mouse Up event. As long as the variable is ON (or == 1), the ship will fire.

Other solution is create a timer on Mouse Button Down and destroy on Mouse Button Up.

In the timer event, fire your bullet

Many thanks to both of you: it's a great help!
