Smooth iphone controls?

[RippeR7420]

Hey everybody, I have a question about smooth iphone controls.

In my game, When I want my player to move left or move right, I have to pick up my finger and press down on the other direction.
Is there a way we can move just by sliding your finger from the left button to the right button?

Now I've tried "Mouse Enter" and "Mouse Leave", But the problem is I have my character set up to jump also. And when I press down
on the jump button, It triggers the "Mouse Leave" function for the "Right Button" thus making my character stop moving on the x axis,
and only allows him to jump on the y axis.

Any help would be Greatly appreciated!

There isn't a good solution to this. The problem is gE doesn't really support multitouch. I created a workaround once, but lost the file and can't remember the method that I used to bypass it. Multitouch on android has been implemented which would make it more or less just work. But for now, the best way to go about this is to come up with a movement scheme that only requires one touch.

maybe mouse button down - follow mouse, mouse button up stops him from moving ???

Ahh. Yeah it's not a huge deal, but it would make gameplay have more of a constant flow. Thanks though Skydereign.

@knucklecrunchgames the problem is in the "mouse leave" event. So even if the button followed as soon as you release
The jump button it will trigger a different state, and make the player stop moving. Or one would think at least.
