ActionScript Mouse Gesture Library
A very easy to use Mouse Gesture class for AS 3.0 projects. The gesture is based on the mouse movements as shown below:
Then you go on defining your gestures as a progression of these numbers. On to code:
Instantiate it. Pass the stage reference, or wherever you want it to work.
mg = new MouseGesture(this.stage);
Add a gesture. Param 1: A string constant as an identifier. Param 2: The gesture number itself (above numbers) Here it is just a single action which will be ‘click and drag to right’ (see image)
mg.addGesture(PLAY,"0");
Add a complex gesture as a progression of above numbers. (Guess what it is)
mg.addGesture(STEP_BACKWARD,"65432");
Now add the listener.
mg.addEventListener(GestureEvent.GESTURE_MATCH,matchHandler);
Now your listener.
private function matchHandler(event:GestureEvent):void
{
switch(event.datas)
{
case PLAY:
// DO whatever you want
break;
case GESTURE_MATCH:
// DO whatever you want. Yes again...
break;
}
}
Bingo! Easy, isn’t it?
