    • Touch events – Events generated on devices that detect user contact with the device, such as a finger on a touch screen. Touch events include touchTap, touchOver, and touchMove. When a user interacts with a device with a touch screen, the user typically touches the screen with a finger or a pointing device.
      Gesture events – Events generated by multi-touch interactions, such as pressing two fingers on a touch screen at the same time. Gesture events include gesturePan, gestureRotate, and gestureZoom. For example, on some devices you can use a pinch gesture to zoom out from an image.

    • When developing any mobile application, you can use the Spark Application container, even for phones.
    • Security hole?: When enabled, session persistence writes the state of the application to disk using a local shared object named FxAppCache. Your application can also use methods of the spark.managers.PersistenceManager to write additional information to the local shared object.
