Methods

addMoveCallback(callback, context)

Adds a callback that is fired every time the activePointer receives a DOM move event such as a mousemove or touchmove.

The callback will be sent 4 parameters:

A reference to the Phaser.Pointer object that moved, The x position of the pointer, The y position, A boolean indicating if the movement was the result of a 'click' event (such as a mouse click or touch down).

It will be called every time the activePointer moves, which in a multi-touch game can be a lot of times, so this is best to only use if you've limited input to a single pointer (i.e. mouse or touch).

The callback is added to the Phaser.Input.moveCallbacks array and should be removed with Phaser.Input.deleteMoveCallback.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
callback	function	The callback that will be called each time the activePointer receives a DOM move event.
context	object	The context in which the callback will be called.

Source - input/Input.js, line 461

addPointer() → {Phaser.Pointer|null}

Add a new Pointer object to the Input Manager. By default Input creates 3 pointer objects: mousePointer (not include in part of general pointer pool), pointer1 and pointer2. This method adds an additional pointer, up to a maximum of Phaser.Input.MAX_POINTERS (default of 10).

Returns:

Phaser.Pointer | null -

The new Pointer object that was created; null if a new pointer could not be added.

Source - input/Input.js, line 508

<internal> boot()

getLocalPosition(displayObject, pointer) → {Phaser.Point}

This will return the local coordinates of the specified displayObject based on the given Pointer.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
displayObject	Phaser.Sprite | Phaser.Image	The DisplayObject to get the local coordinates for.
pointer	Phaser.Pointer	The Pointer to use in the check against the displayObject.

Returns:

Phaser.Point -

A point containing the coordinates of the Pointer position relative to the DisplayObject.

Source - input/Input.js, line 861

getPointer(isActive) → {Phaser.Pointer}

Get the first Pointer with the given active state.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Argument	Default	Description
isActive	boolean	<optional>	false	The state the Pointer should be in - active or inactive?

Returns:

Phaser.Pointer -

A Pointer object or null if no Pointer object matches the requested state.

Source - input/Input.js, line 783

getPointerFromId(pointerId) → {Phaser.Pointer}

Get the Pointer object whos pointerId property matches the given value.

The pointerId property is not set until the Pointer has been used at least once, as its populated by the DOM event. Also it can change every time you press the pointer down if the browser recycles it.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
pointerId	number	The pointerId (not 'id') value to search for.

Returns:

Phaser.Pointer -

A Pointer object or null if no Pointer object matches the requested identifier.

Source - input/Input.js, line 835

getPointerFromIdentifier(identifier) → {Phaser.Pointer}

Get the Pointer object whos identifier property matches the given identifier value.

The identifier property is not set until the Pointer has been used at least once, as its populated by the DOM event. Also it can change every time you press the pointer down, and is not fixed once set. Note: Not all browsers set the identifier property and it's not part of the W3C spec, so you may need getPointerFromId instead.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
identifier	number	The Pointer.identifier value to search for.

Returns:

Phaser.Pointer -

A Pointer object or null if no Pointer object matches the requested identifier.

Source - input/Input.js, line 808
