Controlling Flash with nipple on touchscreen, what about buttons?

Txori commented 2 years ago

Hello, I'm currently toying the nipple in order to control Flash content in the Ruffle emulator on touchscreen devices: https://www.txori.com/stuff/ruffle/nipplejs.php

nipplejs

I was wondering if nipples could be use as buttons too, or if not, if you had plan to add buttons?

Thanks

So I programmed my own buttons, thanks to this useful hint. Now I'm trying to use a static nipple instead. It's there, working, but not throwing any events... I just got from this:

    var nippleManager = nipplejs.create({
        zone: document.getElementById('box'),
        color: 'red'
    });

to that:

    var nippleManager = nipplejs.create({
        zone: document.getElementById('box'),
        color: 'red',
        mode: 'static',
        position: {left: '100px', bottom: '100px'}
    });

What am I missing?

I made a very simple test, and everything is working but the static nipple:

<script>

var nippleManager = nipplejs.create({
    zone: document.getElementById('nipplebox'),
    color: 'red',
    //mode: 'semi',
    //mode: 'static',
    //catchDistance: 200,
    position: {left: '50%', bottom: '50%'}
});

nippleManager.on('added', function (evt, nipple) {
    nipple.on('start move end', function(evt, data) {
        console.log(data);
    });
});

</script>

<style>
#nipplebox {
    width:800px;
    height: 600px;
    background-color:#bbccaa;
    border: 2px solid rgba(90, 90, 60);
    position:relative;
    top:0;
    left:0;
    margin-left: auto;
    margin-right: auto;
}
</style>

</body>
</html>

I really don't know what's going on with it... It is available here: https://www.txori.com/stuff/ruffle/simplenipple.php

I'm still digging, and it appears that the on added doesn't work when the nipple is static:

nippleManager.on('added', function (evt, nipple) {
    console.log("nipple added");
}

So I replaced it by:

var nipple = nippleManager.get(0);
nipple .on('start move end', function(evt, data) {
    console.log(data);
});

There should be a bit of explanations about this in the help doc :)

This is expected since the joystick is already there and never actually added. The added event is for other modes than static.
