Hi,  
I can’t find a “when sprite is touched” block, only a “when sprite is clicked”. My sprites are fixed in specific locations on the canvas / stage over a background image for the user to touch and get specific data. See screen shot below with red X’s as the sprites.

They get repositioned depending on the graphic, but don’t have any movement.  
I’ve been using the “when sprite clicked” blocks but find that I have to hit the screen, not just touch it to get a response.  
I tried toggling some of the SpriteType properties but that doesn’t seem to change the blocks shown.

Thanks for the help, Kris

Hi @kristhorsteinssonf4y

Did we resolve this here:

> [@\[Solved\] Sprite when clicked works in Live Test but not in APK version](https://community.thunkable.com/t/solved-sprite-when-clicked-works-in-live-test-but-not-in-apk-version/1979143):
>
> I use numerous sprites in pre-set fixed locations on canvas graphics that the user touches to bring up sprite-specific information in a list and a label. When testing using live app on my device the sprites function as intended - when I touch them lightly they bring up / display the applicable information in the list & label. However, when I download the APK to test on my device the sprites need to be pounded on very hard and multiple times to get them to function. This obviously won’t work f…

Or is this something slightly different?

Yes, it was the same problem. Now resolved by making the sprites a little larger.

Thx!
