Tap and hold event in

[ritsrivastava]

I created a mobile app using phaser JS and used keyboard key (up/down/right/left) to move my player (hero) and it is working fine

 

eg:

if (cursors.up.isDown) {

player.body.velocity.y = -100;
}

hero is moving upward smoothly on press and hold the up key 

 

when i used the button for moving the player up/down/right/left :

 

game.add.button(0,0,'btnUp',function(){
player.body.velocity.y = -400;

},this); 

I have added  function on click.. but for moving the player I need to press that up button again and again , there is no such 'HOLD' .

Also pressing again and again the button player is not moving smoothly..

 

 

Can some one help me that how can i move the object (Player) on hold the button..
