Developed a simple Flickr search application using Flex 4, targeting Flash Player 10.1 on Google Nexus One. This application lets users search for photos on Flickr and uses the API provided by Flash Player 10.1 to handle touch events.
Here is the video of the application:
It took 3 hours for me to understand the touch events and develop this application and of course used Data-Centric features in Flash Builder 4 to connect to the services exposed by Flickr. In this application I used the following to handle touch events:
- TouchEvent.TOUCH_BEGIN
- TouchEvent.TOUCH_MOVE
- TouchEvent.TOUCH_END
- TouchEvent.TAP
- Multitouch.supportsTouchEvents
- Multitouch.inputMode

WOW.. Very useful links.
Thanks Sujit.
Great work, Sujit. Did you use the Flex 4 framework for this, or just FlashBuilder 4 + actionscript?
great to see the app
Nice work, Sujit. Was this built with the flex framework, or just the flash builder tool?

Hi Ely,
Thanks for the comment. Yes, this application was built using Flex 4
The list of images displayed in the initial screen is using DataGroup with the SuperImage component developed by you as its ItemRenderer. I also used Group, HGroup, Animate and many more. For changing views in the application I used states.

Can you help me with a doubt that I came? I have a doubt about creating an application kiosk touch with events in AS3, that is, there will be problems in some operating systems or touch events work well at all? Because I know that the multitouch not working well on all operating systems.
