Short answer, you need to track the location of each touch yourself and do the math.
Check out this piece of code: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bwmilby/lc-misc/master/PinchZoom/pinchzoom.livecodescript That is a piece of code that I translated into LCS that deals with tracking two touch points to zoom an object. Depending on what you want to accomplish, you won't need anything that complicated. Looking at the Netflix app, you can either go vertical or horizontal. First movement direction locks it until all touches are released. So you would need to capture the touchStart to get the ID and then 2 touchMove messages to establish direction (I didn't try using mouseloc to get the touchStart location). You may want to pair the direction detection with a minimum to ensure you capture the correct direction.
