How do I ignore a tap action when swiping?

Hey. Got my controls set up like this: Left side of screen to shoot fireball, right side to jump, swipe to slide. But if I swipe, it shoots or jumps depending on where I swipe. Is there a way to ignore a touch action if I'm swiping? So I don;t accidentally do those other 2 moves?

Thanks for the help.

save touch X,Y to a var on touch start, and check distance from current touch X,Y on touch end, if it's greater than X (try different offsets) then it's a swipe, else it's a click.

You might also want to add a timer that counts while touching, so if you release the touch after a long time, maybe it's better to consider it a click and not a swipe.

Are you using "on tap" ?

(because that shouldn't trigger on a longer touch)..

I used 'on tap', but it seems slower than 'is touching' or 'on touched'. Thanks a lot for the help, lads.

Tap triggers on end of touch and if touch time is greater than some value, you're probably looking to trigger it when touch starts and not end.
