This video from a MAX session has an informative demonstration of the new touch/gesture events in 10.1. Also loads of really cool new features in the AIR 2.0 runtime.

What’s coming in Adobe AIR 2.0

Here’s a great article outlining all of the new events, classes and information on how to manage the input.

I’ve scraped the code off this article for my own reference below. Please do read the article though.

Touch management

Many multi-touch developers like to use an Object or Array of points to keep track of touch inputs (aka blobs) as well as an ID, and X/Y coordinatees for each point. It looks like Flash Player 10.1 will help you conform to these conventions, ActionScript-style.


flash.utils.Dictionary /* Used to track Arrays of Points */
flash.geom.Point /* One contact point */
TouchEvent.touchPointID /* Unique ID for each touch contact point */
TouchEvent.stageX
TouchEvent.stageY
TouchEvent.isPrimaryTouchPoint


Gestures

flash.events.GestureEvent;
flash.events.GesturePhase;
flash.events.GesturePhaseEvent;
flash.events.TransformGestureEvent;

/* GesturePhaseEvent */
GesturePhaseEvent.GESTURE_PAN
GesturePhaseEvent.GESTURE_PRESS_AND_TAP
GesturePhaseEvent.GESTURE_ROTATE
GesturePhaseEvent.GESTURE_ZOOM //Is the same thing as 'pinch'
GesturePhaseEvent.offsetX:Number
GesturePhaseEvent.offsetY:Number
GesturePhaseEvent.rotation:Number
GesturePhaseEvent.scaleX:Number
GesturePhaseEvent.scaleY:Number


Orientation recognition

flash.display.StageOrientation;
/* e.g. StageOrientation.DEFAULT */

flash.display.StageDisplayState;
/* e.g. stage.displayState = FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE; */
