From the sounds of it, you really need to do a little preliminary homework. If I were you I would view the video tutorials to learn the basics.

Good luck!

i figured it out but i need a litle help with figuring out how to get the paddle to stop moving, i set it up like this when a touch is placed above Y location 400 move up when below 400 move down, but when i touch it just keeps going, how can i set it up so that it will stop when i lift my finger off the screen?
