Hi.

DoGesture allows you to create and interpret mouse gestures within Flash projects.

The Framework helps you to create innovative navigation or intuitive operating concepts with a few lines of code.

A simple example:  
AS3:

```auto
import de.davidochmann.utilities.dogesture.DoGesture;
import de.davidochmann.utilities.dogesture.events.GestureEvent;

var gesture:DoGesture = new DoGesture(stage, 0, [{x:-50, y:50}, {x:0, y:-50}], true);
gesture.addEventListener(GestureEvent.GESTURE_COMPLETE, gestureGestureCompleteHandler);

```

AS2:

```auto
import de.davidochmann.utilities.dogesture.DoGesture;
import de.davidochmann.utilities.dogesture.events.GestureEvent;

var gesture:DoGesture = new DoGesture(this, 0, [{_x:-50, _y:50}, {_x:0, _y:-50}], true);
gesture.addEventListener(GestureEvent.GESTURE_COMPLETE, gestureGestureCompleteHandler);

```

If the user invokes a mouse press on the stage, moves the cursor to the left, then to the top, and releases the mouse key, the GestureEvent.GESTURE\_COMPLETE event gets dispatched.

You can find a example application here:

Have fun with DoGesture.
