Enable several buttons to be pressed at once in Adobe air-app?

Here is an example that hopefully will clarify things for you.

I tested this code on an Android Phone and it worked. There may be some touch devices that don't have a good compatibility or no compabitibility with multi touch and/or AIR at all.

AS3 code:

import flash.ui.Multitouch;
import flash.events.TouchEvent;
import flash.ui.MultitouchInputMode;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
var targets:Vector.<MovieClip> = new Vector.<MovieClip>();
function start():void
{
    Multitouch.inputMode = MultitouchInputMode.TOUCH_POINT;
    keys.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_BEGIN, touchBeginHandler);
    stage.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_END, touchEndHandler);
}
function touchBeginHandler(e:TouchEvent)
{
    targets.unshift(e.target as MovieClip);
    targets[0].gotoAndStop(2);
}
function touchEndHandler(e:TouchEvent)
{
    for (var i:int = targets.length - 1; i >= 0; i--)
          targets.gotoAndStop(1);
    targets.splice(0, targets.length);
}
start();
