Public Methods
-
<internal> addClickTrampoline(name, callback, callbackContext, callbackArgs)
-
Add a click trampoline to this pointer.
A click trampoline is a callback that is run on the DOM 'click' event; this is primarily needed with certain browsers (ie. IE11) which restrict some actions like requestFullscreen to the DOM 'click' event and reject it for 'pointer' and 'mouse' events.
This is used internally by the ScaleManager; click trampoline usage is uncommon. Click trampolines can only be added to pointers that are currently down.
Parameters
Name Type Description name
string The name of the trampoline; must be unique among active trampolines in this pointer.
callback
function Callback to run/trampoline.
callbackContext
object Context of the callback.
callbackArgs
Array.<object> | null Additional callback args, if any. Supplied as an array.

-
justPressed(duration) → {boolean}
-
The Pointer is considered justPressed if the time it was pressed onto the touchscreen or clicked is less than justPressedRate. Note that calling justPressed doesn't reset the pressed status of the Pointer, it will return
true
for as long as the duration is valid. If you wish to check if the Pointer was pressed down just once then see the Sprite.events.onInputDown event.Parameters
Name Type Argument Description duration
number <optional>
The time to check against. If none given it will use InputManager.justPressedRate.
Returns
boolean -true if the Pointer was pressed down within the duration given.
- Source code: input/Pointer.js, line 666
-
justReleased(duration) → {boolean}
-
The Pointer is considered justReleased if the time it left the touchscreen is less than justReleasedRate. Note that calling justReleased doesn't reset the pressed status of the Pointer, it will return
true
for as long as the duration is valid. If you wish to check if the Pointer was released just once then see the Sprite.events.onInputUp event.Parameters
Name Type Argument Description duration
number <optional>
The time to check against. If none given it will use InputManager.justReleasedRate.
Returns
boolean -true if the Pointer was released within the duration given.
- Source code: input/Pointer.js, line 682
-
leave(event)
-
Called when the Pointer leaves the target area.

-
move(event, fromClick)
-
Called when the Pointer is moved.
Parameters
Name Type Argument Default Description event
MouseEvent | PointerEvent | TouchEvent The event passed up from the input handler.

-
<internal> processInteractiveObjects(fromClick) → {boolean}
-
Process all interactive objects to find out which ones were updated in the recent Pointer move.
Parameters
Name Type Argument Default Description fromClick
boolean <optional>
false Was this called from the click event?
Returns
boolean -True if this method processes an object (i.e. a Sprite becomes the Pointers currentTarget), otherwise false.
