Hello,

When my app starts it sets the Multitouch.inputMode to MultitouchInputMode.TOUCH_POINT.

When I change that to MultitouchInputMode.GESTURE it doesn't work. When I trace Multitouch.inputMode it says that it is in gesture mode but it does not act like it. Is this a bug?

Is it running on the simulator? The gestures only work on real device

I am testing it on a real device.

When you say that it doesn't act like it, what do you mean? What is it doing or not doing when you change the mode?

When I change Multitouch.inputMode from MultitouchInputMode.TOUCH_POINT to MultitouchInputMode.GESTURE and then read the value of trace(Multitouch.inputMode) it says that it is using gesture. But when i have an event with type TransformGestureEvent it does not dispatch it.

I found this: I can successfully change Multitouch.inputMode in the main class but when I change it in an external class it doesn't work always.

[Miaomiao]

Is it because other class change the Multitouch inputMode after?

The way I would do is:

In the class, assuming it's a display object

addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, onDisplay);

public function onDisplay(event:Event):void {

MultiTouch.inputMode = .....

}

I want it to be changed when an user clicks a button.

the code wouldn't be that different from MiaoMiao, place the MultiTouch.inputMode = ... inside the button click event, see how that goes.

I've already done that and got the issue described in my first post.
