I know that in the Multitouch community the majority of the developers are using Adobe Flash or C++ for their developments.
Why not using Adobe Flex?
I know… you’ve been using Adobe Flash or C++ for a lot of years, for the designer it’s a lot easier to develop using Adobe Flash, etc. but if you want to go ahead on your multitouch enterprise applications why don’t you give a try?
The SDK is free and you can develop in almost every environments (yes including Linux). See it at http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flex/sdk/
For those who want to have a try in developing multitouch application in Adobe Flex here is the Multitouch Flickr Demo Application with some of my modifications.
I’ve modified the code a little to get it completely compiled in the Adobe Flex Builder. The main modification went around the definition of the variables, the extends of objects (for example the “RotatableScalable” object now extends UIComponent), the Registration point (is not in the middle but in the top left corner), etc.
I hope this will help you getting start with the Multitouch applications developed in Adobe Flex.

Hello. Great work your doing and I love the videos, especially since you show one of my apps =)
I just wanted to let you know, many of us are using Adobe Flex to write the "flash applications." We usually include the fla in the source since more people are familiar with flash than with flex.
But yes, personally I'm using Flex for everything and it's a much better environment to use.
Yeah, the multiKey is my application. If you every feel anything should be changed any any of the applications (not just mine) let us know. We'd love to get your feedback.
Thank you Seth for your comment. Your MultiKey is great... I know it because I'm loving it.
If you need any help it its development, just say :D
Hi, i'm really interested in your touchlibflex, do you have some small demo's on how to get touchlib flex working with for example a button. The flickrdemo is to complicated for me.
thnx
Hello goldenpsp. I don't have any examples for the "first steps" in touchlib. The easiest way is to go to the NUIGOURP forums and check demos an info.
It is essential to know something about ActionScript.
In the Adobe Flex builder you can create 2 different action script projects:
"File >> New >> Flex Project" (in here you can actually create MXML tagging)
"File >> New >> ActionScript Project" (the most used in the NUI community, were you only program in ActionScript)
The main difference between them is in the extending of the Containers/Canvas. For the Flex Projects your container can't extend the Sprite (like in the demos), you must extend them from the UIComponent.
Boas! Bom trabalho. Eu também ando a explorar estas bandas. Aqui está uma demonstração da minha primeira aplicação: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UwszalELYs&feature=channel_page
Isso foi feito no flash cs3. Queria migrar para flex e pelos vistos vocês andam a explorar essa área. Gostava que partilhassem um simples evento de drag de um botão com um tuioEvent se possível (porque os básicos já consegui)
tnx in advance. Continuações
Olá Marco, gostei do teu video.
Vejo que apenas estás a trabalhar com os eventos onClick.
Quanto ao Drag, acho que estás a ver a coisa ao contrário, tens de estar à escuta dos TUIO events e depois fazer a tua aplicação reagir a eles. Geralmente é assim que tenho as minhas aplicações.
Os eventos TUIO é que te dizem se estás perante um evento de toque, 2xToque ou drag e a tua aplicação tem de reagir a isso.
Abraços.
