Simultaneous Zoom, Pan & Rotate (TransformGestureEvent)

The trick here is to use the Zoom and Rotate Gestures along with a startDrag/stopDrag.

//this is only required if you want to limit the draggable area of the item

private var theDragItem:*;

//itemToMove would be your symbol name

itemToMove.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, fl_StartDrag, false, 0, true);

itemToMove.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, fl_StopDrag, false, 0, true);

itemToMove.addEventListener(TransformGestureEvent.GESTURE_ZOOM, fl_ZoomHandler, false, 0, true);

itemToMove.addEventListener(TransformGestureEvent.GESTURE_ROTATE, fl_RotateHandler, false, 0, true);

Multitouch.inputMode = MultitouchInputMode.GESTURE;

//PINCH TO ZOOM

function fl_ZoomHandler(e:TransformGestureEvent):void

{

          e.target.scaleX *= e.scaleX;

          e.target.scaleY *= e.scaleY;

}

//ROTATING

function fl_RotateHandler(e:TransformGestureEvent):void

{

          e.target.rotation += e.rotation;

}

//DRAG

function fl_StartDrag(e:MouseEvent):void

{

          e.currentTarget.startDrag(false);

          theDragItem = e.currentTarget;

//optional

          stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, testMouseLocation, false, 0, true);     

}

private function testMouseLocation(e:Event):void{

//optional... this is to limit the area that the item can be moved within.

          if (stage.mouseX < 80 || stage.mouseX > 620 || stage.mouseY < 280 || stage.mouseY > 470) {

                    theDragItem.dispatchEvent(new MouseEvent(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP));

                    stage.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, testMouseLocation);       

    }

}

function fl_StopDrag(e:MouseEvent):void

{

          e.currentTarget.stopDrag();

}
