SOME SCRIPT THAT AM TRYING TO PUT TOGETHER FOR THIS TOUCH INTERACTION
working on Multitouch and Gestures in Action script3,
still learning and putting it together to work.

Multitouch.inputMode = MultitouchInputMode.TOUCH_POINT;
this.stage.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_BEGIN, onTouchBegin);
this.stage.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_MOVE, onTouchMove);
this.stage.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_END, onTouchEnd);

private function onTouchBegin(e:TouchEvent):void
{
var dot:Sprite = this.getCircle();
dot.x = e.stageX;
dot.y = e.stageY;
this.stage.addChild(dot);
dot.startTouchDrag(e.touchPointID, true);
this.dots[e.touchPointID] = dot;
}

private function onTouchEnd(e:TouchEvent):void
{
var dot:Sprite = this.dots[e.touchPointID];
this.stage.removeChild(dot);
}
