I am trying to swap two sprites by pressing a mouse button. My problem is that getpointerpressed seems to stayon
After I click on the first Sprite so the check for clicking on the second Sprite takes affect before I even click on it. I have checked for getpointerreleased but it didn't do anything. Has anyone had this problem? Any solutions?

Uechi, GetPointerPressed() returns 1 on the initial press only. It should not remain as 1. Could you show us what you have coded and we may be able to figure it out...

I noticed this happens to me a lot. I make the second sprite somewhere else on the screen so it can't be pressed right away. Also getPointerReleased works in my programs. Post some code.

Calling getpointerpressed twice in the same sync cycle will return exactly the same value both times.

As you probably discovered, you need to allow at least one sync cycle between calls for the two different locations to register.

I'm glad you got it working.

Happy Programming!

Cheers,
