I've been working on a new SDK which for the first time lets Flash(R) developers exploit the power of multi touch AND use cool Fingertapps features like high speed 3D.

The best thing about the latest incarnations of Flash(R) is that they provide an XML path for us to communicate. We use this to send events which you can simply write action script to respond to.

Multi-touch Flash(R)

This means we can handle all the custom multi touch code and the flash programmer can create the interactivity.

function touchDown(int:x,int:y,int:finger):void {
  }

function touchMove(int:x,int:y,int:finger):void {
  }

function touchUp(int:x,int:y,int:finger):void {
  }	

By simply writing code inside these methods you can manipulate and animate Flash movies as you wish.

Control Fingertapps with Flash(R) actionscript

We can also raise events back inside Fingertapps. This works by calling out sendFlashCommand extention. This lets you send any string command and parameter pair. You can use this to access our default Fingertapps behaviours, or adjust the Fingertapps script to create your own.

sendFlashCommand("command","parameter");

The result of this is that you can trigger any of the high end multimedia capabilities in Fingertapps from Flash(R) actionscript. Here is a youtube video of it all in action.
