Major multi touch issue

Multi touch problem

I have a huge problem (spend over 2 days trying to work it out).

I have a made a control pad and a fire button that both work independently  when touch is pressed. The control pad controls a crosshair 

Crosshair X = (controlpad*2)+320

And if I hold down the control pad I can still fire. This all works perfectly. 

The problem is if I hold down the fire button the control pad doesn't work. I have tried using touch gestures but I don't really know what I'm doing

Can any one help please I'm so stuck?

This is how I would do it:

You'll need to have separate instances and variables, say leftTouch and rightTouch.

leftTouch

if touch is pressed

change game.leftTouch to 1

otherwise

change game.leftTouch to 0

----------------------------

rightTouch

if touch is pressed

change game.rightTouch to 1

otherwise

change game.rightTouch to 0

----------------------------

Then you can set things to happen when leftTouch or rightTouch = 1.

Hope that helps.

Check out CodeMonkey's joystick demo. It will show you how to determine which touch is being used. It's pretty simple and easy to implement. Good luck with it

Yeah Code monkeys joystick demo was the basis of my game. I just adapted it to work. I have solved the solution although i'm not completely sure how... I will try to find out and report

Thanks for your help
