Certainly Flash will work with touchscreens, with the same limitations that
exist for Director: Mouseover functions really don't work very well, since
as Perry said, the mouseover and mousedown events occur simultaneously...
Thus you really only have 3 states in your buttons, and can't use those
nifty over effects... Otherwise, no problem, assuming that your monitor has
been calibrated properly so that a touch actually triggers an event in the
exact same place on the screen... Very important! :)
