This component is not supported for Google Ads, Google AdMob, AMPHTML ads, video ads or image ads.
The Gesture component lets you capture user interactions. For example, you might want to know when a user's mouse pointer hovers over a button so that you can change the button colour, or detect when a user swipes left on a page of text so that you can display the next page.
To add the Audio component to your project:
- Open the Components panel, then the Interaction folder.
- Drag the Gesture component to the stage.
- Add events to detect the gestures that you care about. The Gesture component has different events for different types of gestures.
