launching scenes based on direction of touch (swipe)

[exs]

I am trying to do the following:

user swipes touch area to the left = launches scene 1
user swipes touch area to the right = launches scene 3

Kinda like a carousel, I just need to register the direction of the swipes and launch the appropriate scenes.

Any help would be awesome!

Here is a gesture class from Sencha Touch 2 that detects horizontal swipes

That might give you some inspiration to get started.

That's great stuff. Thanks for the link. Do you have an example of how I can modify this script to tie it to a scene change? That's the part that I am having difficulty. any help is GREATLY appreciated!

I can give you a couple of high level pointers of one potential solution.

I'd write a swipe script and make it listen on the document for swipes. You can include this script by adding a script tag and referencing it in Animator in the properties side panel under Project -> Head HTML.

Then on your first scene, you can add a start action, in the start action you can connect the animation controller to your script. E.g.
mySwipeScript.setAnimationController(controller);


then in your swipe script you'd store the reference to the animation controller, and you can call
animationController.goToSceneByID(); etc to control the animation.
