| Class | public final class TouchPhase |
| Inheritance | TouchPhase  Object |
A touch moves through at least the following phases in its life:
BEGAN -> MOVED -> ENDED
Furthermore, a touch can enter a STATIONARY phase. That phase does not
trigger a touch event itself, and it can only occur in multitouch environments. Picture a
situation where one finger is moving and the other is stationary. A touch event will
be dispatched only to the object under the moving finger. In the list of touches
of that event, you will find the second touch in the stationary phase.
Finally, there's the HOVER phase, which is exclusive to mouse input. It is
the equivalent of a MouseOver event in Flash when the mouse button is
not pressed.
