I’m still having some problems understanding these touch events…or maybe something else…can anyone enlighten me as to what i’m doing wrong in this code?? Only left as1&2 to go to 3 recently so I’m sure I have bad habits and misconceptions but…

In the IDE i have a button on the stage called: “touchBtn”  
and a textfield called “timer”

the problem i have is that if i touch the button fast / lots, the display rate really slows down…I know this is down to something I’m doing totally wrong but not sure what…

all help and ridicule appreciated.

package {

```
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.TouchEvent;
import flash.events.Event;    
import flash.utils.*;

public class dotty extends MovieClip {

```

public function dotty() {  
touchBtn.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH\_BEGIN, TouchBegin);  
touchBtn.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH\_END, TouchEnd);

```
        var theTime:int = 0;
        var Ypos:int=0;

```

function TouchBegin(event:TouchEvent):void{  
Ypos=mouseY;  
}  
function TouchEnd(event:TouchEvent):void{  
Ypos=mouseY;  
}

addEventListener(Event.ENTER\_FRAME,myFunction);

function myFunction(event:Event) {

```
theTime=getTimer();
timer.text=String(theTime);

```

}  
}  
}

}
