I think I found a good solution for Rotary Dials - buy making a button and have the code based on “touchup” or “touchdown”. But what about a knob? Ideally there would be a “touchleft” and “touchright”. Has anyone found a solution for this? ---

Perhaps I could say something, but I do not understand what needs to be done. What is Rotary Dials and knob? ---

check this out if it helps you > [@Knob rotational angle](http://community.thunkable.com/t/knob-rotational-angle/5623): > > It gives you angle of rotation of the knob. You can drag only from 0 degree (red line of the knob image).

Thunkable X does not have a component rotation block, but you can create a discrete rotation using the button. [https://x.thunkable.com/projects/5b3d9f1d498f5007838afaa8/project/properties/designer/](https://x.thunkable.com/projects/5b3d9f1d498f5007838afaa8/project/properties/designer/) ---

Sorry, for knob I’m referring to like the volume thing on your radio. You twist it to increase or decrease. I was thinking, the button wouldn’t need to record twist angle or anything just movement side to side. I’ll have to check out some of the examples folks have suggested. ---

Wow! Thanks, it’ll take me some time to cipher through the code. ---

Hi - I don’t know how to open this file. .aia file? Do you have a link to a Thunkable sample? ---

When you’ve downloaded the .aia file, go to Thunkable, from menu Apps select **Upload app project (.aia) from my computer** then **Choose File** Select the downloaded .aia and that’s it. ---

Aia files are used in the Thunkable Classic. They can not be import into Thunkable X. ---
