New Video Tutorial On Multi-Touch In Flash
Jun 3, 2010 AIR, Flash, Flash Catalyst, Flex, General, Tutorials
I just uploaded a new tutorial that explains how to respond and handle raw touch data in Flash Player 10.1. In a previous tutorial I showed how to respond to gestures, but in touch mode you can track all of the touch points on your screen. The 3M display that I am using supports up to 60 touch points, although I have yet to think of an example of how to use them all. Lee

Flash Works On Touch-Based Devices (Video)
May 12, 2010 AIR, Flash, Flash Catalyst, Flex, General, Tutorials
Several people have been making assertions that most Flash sites will not work properly on touch-based devices because these sites use rollovers or hovers for things like effects and navigation. Well I put together this little video together showing that Flash sites do indeed work the way you would expect since the Flash Player dispatches rollover events even on a touch screen. This video is aimed at clearing up the misinformation surrounding Flash rollover events and touch devices. The assertion that most Flash sites need to be rewritten is absolutely false.
