The Tap Area component is a transparent element you can position over any part of the screen, which lets the user trigger an action with a touch or mouse click.
To add the Tap Area component to your project:
- Open the Components panel, then the Interaction folder.
- Drag the Tap Area
component to the stage. The component is transparent to the user, so you may want to position it over a visible element that lets the user know where to click or tap, or resize the component to cover the entire page.
- Right-click the component and select Add event... to set up an event that triggers the action you want when a user taps or clicks the Tap Area. In the Event dialog:
- For the event, select Tap Area > Touch/Click.
- For the action, select the action you want.
- For the receiver, select the element that's associated with the action.
- Depending on the action, you may need to set additional configuration options.
For mobile device compatibility, use the Tap Area > Touch/Click event instead of Mouse > click.
