How do I make an object move only when I hold the button

[Ethan_Li]

Im trying to make a sprite move by holding a button and then making the object stop when I let go. Is there a way that I can achieve this??? Because I have been trying and I can't seem to figure it out.

Use the TouchDown event to start the movement and the TouchUp event to stop it

TouchDown()
Indicates that the Button was pressed down.
TouchUp()
Indicates that the Button has been released.

Here's a movement tutorial:

Flappy Copter – Create a game like Flappy Bird from scratch using App Inventor

This is a full blown tutorial that has been overdue for two years (Because I made this game a couple of years ago but never got the time to write the tutorial for it). This should teach you how to make a side scroller game with dynamic width/height/positions of components to support various device sizes. This is the longest tutorial and also app inventor game I have ever written! All good learning went to this tutorial. Enjoy! Tutorial Link: https://www.imagnity.com/android/flappy-copter-create…
