GESTURE_BEGAN and GESTURE_ENDED not fired on iOS devices.

[SlavomirDurej]

Got a code here (pretty much taken from the example code :

private function initGestures() : void
{
    transformGesture = new TransformGesture(photoSprite);
    transformGesture.addEventListener(org.gestouch.events.GestureEvent.GESTURE_BEGAN, onGesture);
    transformGesture.addEventListener(org.gestouch.events.GestureEvent.GESTURE_CHANGED, onGesture);
    transformGesture.addEventListener(org.gestouch.events.GestureEvent.GESTURE_ENDED, resumeScroll);
}


private function onGesture(event : org.gestouch.events.GestureEvent) : void
{
    const gesture : TransformGesture = event.target as TransformGesture;
    var matrix : Matrix = photoSprite.transform.matrix;

    trace("Event type "+event.type);
    trace("eventPhase "+event.eventPhase);

    if (event.type == GestureEvent.GESTURE_BEGAN)
    {
        toggleScroll(true);
    }

    // Panning
    matrix.translate(gesture.offsetX, gesture.offsetY);
    photoSprite.transform.matrix = matrix;

    if (gesture.scale != 1 || gesture.rotation != 0)
    {
        // Scale and rotation.
        var transformPoint : Point = matrix.transformPoint(photoSprite.globalToLocal(gesture.location));
        matrix.translate(-transformPoint.x, -transformPoint.y);
        matrix.rotate(gesture.rotation);
        matrix.scale(gesture.scale, gesture.scale);
        matrix.translate(transformPoint.x, transformPoint.y);

        photoSprite.transform.matrix = matrix;
    }
}


private function toggleScroll(pause : Boolean) : void
{
    if (pause)
    {
        scroll.verticalScrollingEnabled = false;
        scroll.pauseScrolling();
    }
    else 
    {
        scroll.verticalScrollingEnabled = true;
        scroll.resumeScrolling();
    }
}

private function resumeScroll(event : org.gestouch.events.GestureEvent) : void
{
    toggleScroll(false);
}

The Transform gesture works fine both on Android and iOS, which is great, but I need to capture both GESTURE_BEGAN and GESTURE_ENDED as there's another scroll functionality on the whole page. So I listen for the began and end events to stop the entire screen scrolling and only deal with transforming the image.

While this works fine on Android , on iOS devices (tested on iPhone4 and iPad3) this does not work. The problem is GESTURE_BEGAN and GESTURE_ENDED is not being fired on iOS devices.

Any ideas why or how to fix this ?

Many thanks..

I've now found out this is ONLY happening when packaging with the new AIR 4+ faster packer (and -useLegacyAOT no switch) When using original packaging method -target ipa-test or ipa-debug etc, this works ok.

With the latest SDKs installed (AIR + Apache Flex) GESTURE_ENDED does actually never get fired at all. However, GESTURE_CANCELLED gets sometimes fired when ending the gesture. This seems to be a bug.
