Samsung Instinct - How to get screen point dragged.

ok, im on my fone, so when i get back ill post the app

So, i got it to move up and down, but when i press down, it moves, up and vise versa. Also when i try to switch directions, but don't release my finger from the screen it keeps going the same way, can you help?

Code:

package pong;

import java.io.IOException;
import javax.microedition.lcdui.game.GameCanvas;
import javax.microedition.lcdui.game.Sprite;
import javax.microedition.lcdui.Graphics;
import javax.microedition.lcdui.Image;
