Re: touch screen

The touchscreen creates standard Flash mouse events - onMouseDown, onMouseMove, onMouseUp, onPress, onRelease, etc.

Re: touch screen

BTW, Flash Lite 3 supports ActionScript 2 which is a bit better than AS1.

Re: touch screen

Actionscript 2 is just a different source code syntax, but the generated bytecodes are the same.  There's no functional difference - everything you can do with AS2 you can also do with AS1.

The player doesn't actually have any idea whether the original source was AS1 or AS2.
