Need help - stupid question but I can't figure it out.

I cannot get actor receives event > touch > pressed to respond at all. Not with the mouse click, or on a device using a touch (iPhone). Right now I am just trying to change an attribute from 0 to 1. All of the code to change the attribute is correct, because if I change the event from 'touch' to mouse button > down it works correctly. Then, I switch it back to touch pressed (I've also tried inside and both inside and down combined) it won't respond at all. I've placed the actors in my HUD layer (on the top) but also tried putting them in my main scene layer with no luck.

Is there something really simple and stupid that I am missing? I've also tried creating new actors and repeating the process but I get the same results.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I will try to post a screenshot as well.

Thanks
Charlie

    Is there a reason why you have display text and the rules in the same actor? Is that what you are trying to do?

    For best practice your "when touch is released - change attr to 0" rule, just move the change attribute for that into the otherwise section of your first rule.

    The displaytext is just an easy way for me to see if it is working. Regardless of what I try - I cannot get the attribute to change to 1 using the touch event. If I change it to mouse button down, it works fine.

    Ok... now I am convinced that this is a GameSalad bug. One of the buttons is now changing an unrelated variable.

    Drag the release rule in the other rule sugar pie. Maybe that'll work for you.

    Good point - I missed that during all the various scenarios that I was testing. But that still doesn't explain why the variable is not changing to 1 with a click.

    I just went to an earlier version of the project without the buttons and started from scratch with the same result. The touch event will not respond, but if I switch it to the mouse it will. Here is a screenshot

    I am going to try re-installing gamesalad.
