what is the best way to track the movement of a dragging finger? I've been using mousemove messages, which work fine on my mac and in the simulator, but are very slow on the ipad. (OK, I have an ipad 2, but shouldn't be THAT slow).

There is considerable lag in between receipt of mousemove messages, such that actions do not follow the dragging finger very closely. Is there some other way to track motion more effectively?

Thanks for any tips.

Hi Chuck,

I use the mouseMove handler. It works fine on my rather slow Android tablet. Here's a stack with all the scripts. You can use the stack to write your signature with your finger or to just do some finger painting.

Kind regards,

Mark
