This is my markup:

```
<canvas id="canvas" on-tap="onTap($event)"></canvas>

```

and this is my angularJS code:

```
angular.module('ionicApp', ['ionic'])
.controller("wallControl", ['$scope', '$interval', function($scope, $interval) {
    $scope.onTap = function(event) {
    $(".score").text(ionic.tap.pointerCoord(event).x);
};

```

However, it always returns 0. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks.
