Hi great works!! Been reading your blog on multi-touch tutorial (and have been struggling on the code). Thanks for sharing your works, learning a lot. On the Google Map API, I come across MapMouseEvent which is different from mouse event (Not sure how different). For instance to click on a marker, normal MouseEvent will fail. Instead, have to use MapMouseEvent. For instance:

marker.addEventListener(MapMouseEvent.CLICK, function(e:Event):void {
marker.openInfoWindow(options3);
});

Because of this, the touchEvent fail as well (or perhaps I code it wrongly)
marker.addEventListener(TouchEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, function(e:TouchEvent):void {
marker.openInfoWindow(options3);
});

Do you have any knowledge on the MapMouseEvent and how to add “touch” on the marker? Appreciate if you can help and thank you in advanced.

This code is also in the collection of experiments I’ve done on my Google Code Experiments Page which you can download or use SVN to get. It isn’t something I can just embed into the post, it needs to be run off the desktop and controlled from a multitouch interface and computer vision software such as Community Core Vision.
