I did a little test and voila, it's possible to create a Gesture object in the Jazz Editor, save it and the use in the Lemur Editro.
... and it works ... will this be available in a future update? is there any more documenation/information about this object?

Btw. there are existing templates and libs for the Lemur that use the Gesture object. E.g.the pinch value could be used to control zoom attributes.

The Gesture object has been taken out of the Editor indeed, there are no plans to bring it back for the time being.

The Gesture control can also be created using the createobject function and it seems to work on the iPad. It is documented on page 129 of de JazzMutant Lemur 2.0 manual, which is still online at http://www.jazzmutant.com/download/Lemu ... Manual.pdf . I wonder why it's taken out of the editor. Is it flawed in any way?

I know of the getattributelist function. But from my iPad it only says 'bogus_string' for a couple of times, which is not very helpfull. Used inside the editor it can display a list of attributes for a control. It doesn't display the x, y and z variables, nor the behavior settings. That's why I made some documentation myself.

Hi
Had meant to comment on this before when it was originally posted, sorry . . .

There is a reason that the 'getattributelist' function does not reveal x.y.z variables and some other info - they are expressions(variables), not attributes.
Unfortunately your scripts do not differentiate between the two datatypes and therefore does not function properly when mismatchs occur.
Your get/set function needs to know which is which and deal with them as needed - currently it only gets expressions, not attributes as planned . . .
