Hi all,

I would like to know if it is possible to capture mltitouch gestures in mobile apps for iOS and Android. In my current tests I can do a rotation, or a scale, but not simultaneusly, the gestures recognizers are only activated one after the other, if using the Multitouch input type to gestures.

Is it possible in any way to achieve this?

Thank you very much.

Unfortunately, Air doesn't support simultaneous gestures.

You have to combine the raw touch points together yourself, which is no easy feat.

Adobe has recognized this limitation, but I've not seen any changes in Air's mulitouch API to support "true multi-touch".

With that said, Tim Kukuluski, at Adobe, offered a class that does support simultaneous zoom,rotate, drag.

Tim was doing some outstanding work in the area, but I've yet to see it rolled into Air officially.  I'd love to see more work done with Air multi-touch in future versions.

Tim's work helped me.  Hope it helps you now.
