How to use in your projects: Backpack the "Mobile controls" sprite and drop it into your project. Backpack all scripts in the "Pages" sprite and drop them into the sprite with your pages. IMPORTANT NOTE: If your pages are not solid all the way through (that is, if there is a transparent part that reveals the stage backdrop) this script will not work for you. I would recommend if you are creating a comic or slide show to put all your info or art onto ONE sprite, using vector to separate layers if necessary. Most mobile-friendly controls do not work if your pages are split between multiple sprites.
This is my mobile-friendly page controls interface. The interface makes it easy to understand what is happening when the page is turned. To turn the page, mobile users tap either side of the screen. A helpful graphic will appear to show which direction the pages are being turned, which allows for an intuitive use of the mobile-friendly interface. The project also includes non-mobile arrow key controls. The idea behind this is that controls that allow users to go back a page are preferred, so the antiquated space bar controls have not been included. However, if you do want space bar as an option, it is simple to implement yourself in your own projects.
