Yeah, I think it also works if the swipe ends outside the scroller but our
project design doesn't really lend itself to a narrower text field. Or do
you mean that the scroller is narrower than the field it controls? I hadn't
thought of that.

The only way I've been able to get swipe functionality with a native
scroller is to keep the native scroller narrower than the screen by enough
that someone swiping is able to easily start the swipe on the background.
I've found when people try to swipe and it doesn't work, they'll try again
starting closer to the edge of the screen.... which I can trap.
Definitely not ideal but it's all I've been able to come up with since I
don't really want to have to code bounce, etc.

Subject: Re: Swipe over native scroller
That's similar to the handlers I'm using but they all fail because no
mouseUp or touchEnd messages are ever sent if you are over a native
scroller. The issue isn't with the calculations, it's because the app is
never informed thar the swipe has completed.
I'll try fiddling with touchMove again, but the message isn't sent
consistently on slow hardware and sometimes fails.

Terry, do we have a place for a repository for code snippits? Maybe
you can put in on the forum.
I don't think you are going to get response to the bug problem. I
have been trying to get smooth scrolling for 3 years! I think it is
more a question of something deep in the engine that "can't be done",
at least not cross platform. Otherwise they would have responded by now.
Here's Terry code from Dec. 20...Terry.... have improved it?
===========
Terry:
So, it seems like this approach works ok. Turned out there was an
addition complication in that the items in my scrolling list are also
selectable and I needed to prevent them being toggled on or off during
a left/right swipe action. Anyway, this is what I ended up doing...
In the card script...
local pLoc, pTime, pV, pScroll
on touchStart pTouchID
put the mouseLoc into pLoc
put the millisecs into pTime
put the scroll of grp "checkList" into pScroll
put the mouseV into pV
end touchStart
on touchMove pTouchID, pTouchX, pTouchY
put pV-pTouchY into tY
put pScroll+tY into tScroll
set the scroll of grp "checkList" to tScroll end touchMove
on touchEnd pTouchID
put the mouseLoc into pLoc1
put (item 1 of pLoc)-(item 1 of pLoc1) into tX
put (item 2 of pLoc)-(item 2 of pLoc1) into tY
put the millisecs - pTime into tElapsed
if abs(tX)>100 then # horizontal swipe
if abs(tY)< 50 then # small vertical movement
if tElapsed < 500 then # not too slow
if tX > 0 then
send "mouseUp" to grp "nextBtn"
else
send "mouseUp" to grp "backBtn"
end if
end if
end if
end if
end touchEnd
And in the "checklist" script...
local pX
on mouseDown
put the mouseH into pX
end mouseDown
on mouseUp
if abs((the mouseH)-pX) > 50 then exit mouseUp
# list selection code
end mouseUp

Thanks, I was afraid of that. I'll see if I can bump the bug report for
attention.

Not much of a workaround I'm afraid, but for a recent app (iOS and
Android) I got rid of the native scroller and used the touch messages
to both scroll the object and detect the swipes.
