In FLASH CC can I have a swf file use swipe instead of clicks?

I have created a FLASH CC a swf that acts like an application. With buttons clicking to go to other screens. I want to be able to swipe on some screens to other ones on a  touch screen, or touch enabled tablet. Can I do that? If so how?

Thanks,

Yes, Of cause. You can add an event listener to stage of your application, such as:

stage.addEventListener (TransformGestureEvent.GESTURE_SWIPE, fl_SwipeToGoToNextPreviousFrame);

function fl_SwipeToGoToNextPreviousFrame(event:TransformGestureEvent):void

{

  if(event.offsetX == 1)

  {

  if(currentGalleryItem > 1){

  currentGalleryItem--;

  slideRight();

  }

  }

  else if(event.offsetX == -1)

  {

  if(currentGalleryItem < totalGalleryItems){

  currentGalleryItem++;

  slideLeft();

  }

  }

}

Actually you can use the Template of Flash CC to do this：

  • Select File > New.

  • Click the Templates tab.

  • Select "AIR for Android" or "AIR for iOS" from the Category list, select "gesture swipe library"(last one of list) from the Category Items list, and click OK.

This is great!

I will use this. Didn't even think about the templates.

you can code that yourself using mousedown, mousemove and mouseup events or, if you're publishing for a touch-enabled device, you can use the flash touchevents including touchmove.
