Features

What does work

First of all, you'll create an instance of the DPad and add to the stage.

var dPad:DPad = new DPad();
this.addChild(dPad);

Add a detection listener for AxisPad. You'll get values on X and Y-axis.

dPad.leftPad.addEventListener(DPadEvent.TOUCH_PRESS, touchPressHandler);
dPad.leftPad.addEventListener(DPadEvent.TOUCH_RELEASE, touchReleaseHandler);

private function touchPressHandler(event:DPadEvent):void{
  var axisPad:AxisPad = event.target as AxisPad;
  trace("radians: " + axisPad.radians);
  trace("distance: " + axisPad.distance + "/" + axisPad.maxDistance);
  trace("press left:  " + (axisPad.value & AxisPad.LEFT));
  trace("press right: " + (axisPad.value & AxisPad.RIGHT));
  trace("press up:    " + (axisPad.value & AxisPad.UP));
  trace("press down:  " + (axisPad.value & AxisPad.DOWN));
}
private function touchReleaseHandler(event:DPadEvent):void{
  ...
}

Add a detection listener for GroupPad. You'll get values on A and B buttons.

dPad.rightPad.addEventListener(DPadEvent.TOUCH_PRESS_A, touchPressAHandler);
dPad.rightPad.addEventListener(DPadEvent.TOUCH_PRESS_B, touchPressBHandler);
dPad.rightPad.addEventListener(DPadEvent.TOUCH_RELEASE_A, touchReleaseAHandler);
dPad.rightPad.addEventListener(DPadEvent.TOUCH_RELEASE_B, touchReleaseBHandler);

private function touchPressAHandler(event:DPadEvent):void{
  var groupPad:GroupPad = event.target as GroupPad;
  trace("press A: " + (groupPad.value & GroupPad.A_BUTTON));
  trace("press B: " + (groupPad.value & GroupPad.B_BUTTON));
}
private function touchPressBHandler(event:DPadEvent):void{
	...
}
private function touchReleaseAHandler(event:DPadEvent):void{
	...
}
private function touchReleaseBHandler(event:DPadEvent):void{
	...
}
