Is there a way to simulate Multitouch for debugging on desktop?

Hey, the topic says it all.
I´d like to test multitouch on desktop, in neko would be perfect.
Is there a way to do this without an actual mobile device?

You can create and dispatch TouchEvents manually, I think you could simulate multitouch this way.

In the past I tried what @hcwdikk said but for dispatching MouseEvent.CLICK events for a particular thing I needed to do( changing Facebook cover pic ) every x seconds. But it was impossible: Flash doesn’t allow to dispatch such input events by hand.

And it makes sense because imagine that you have an ad which will be in lot of websites: What could it happen if all of the ads are able to auto-click themselves O.o? MAYHEM.

I remember there was a simulator for Microsoft Surface which emulates perfectly the touch/multi touch events. This was very useful for me when I was dealing with that giant tablets of Microsoft.

Take a look at the simulator, i’m not sure but maybe it could work with OpenFL

You can simulate Lime events, however, by calling window.onTouchStart.dispatch or other methods. Perhaps it would be possible to create something. You might also be able to use a touch-screen on the desktop
