   I want realize a JoyPad, so when the user touches the right arrow, the character must go forward.

   With ccTouchesBegan method, the user must tap many times to move the character, while I want that when the user hold the button, the character moves.

   Which method can I use?

   Thanks.

   You will have to track the touch events yourself instead of using a MenuItem.

   I know, I don't use a MenuItem.

   But if I put the action in ccTouchesBegan, to move the character, the user must tap many times, while if he keep the finger pressed, the character moves once.

   So I think that I have to use another method, but I don't know which.

   You could have an instace variables "isMoving". On cctouchesBegan set it to true. On ccTouchesEnd set it to false.

   Then on your step() method if isMoving is true, move the player to the desired direction.

   This is possible with menuItem using what pabloruiz mentioned.

   @implementation aButton: MenuItemImage
   -(void) selected
   {
   	[super selected];
   	moving = YES;
   
   }
   
   -(void) unselected
   {
   	[super unselected];
   	moving = NO;
   }
   
   - (void) dealloc {
   	[super dealloc];
   }
   
   @end
