Cloud Carousel and iPad/iPhone touch events

Really love this carousel: http://www.professorcloud.com/mainsite/carousel.htm

Works exactly how I need it to for a demo apart from I need to add touch/wipe events to it for iOS and Android.

Basically if the user wipes (is that the correct te开发者_JS百科rminology?) left or right, the carousel moves in that direction, like it does if you press the left or right button.

I looked into using this plugin: http://plugins.jquery.com/project/Touchwipe-iPhone-iPad-wipe-gesture

And then tried to tweak (hack) the carousel plugin to listen to these events

$(container).bind('touchwipe',this,function(event){
   wipeLeft: function() { alert("left"); }
});

But that generates a syntax error. I don't know enough about creating plugins to know what is allowed here.

From what I can tell in the plugin, the scroll left/right functionality is here

    // Setup the buttons.
    $(options.buttonLeft).bind('mouseup',this,function(event){
        event.data.rotate(-1);  
        return false;
    });
    $(options.buttonRight).bind('mouseup',this,function(event){                                                         
        event.data.rotate(1);   
        return false;
    }); 

So I suppose I need to hook up to these.

Should I use the additional plugin to create the wipe events, or shall I try the official touch events?

Thanks!

This code works for me

    $(container).bind('swiperight', this, function(event, ui)
    {
        event.preventDefault();
        event.data.rotate(-3);
    });

    $(container).bind('swipeleft', this, function(event, ui)
    {
        event.preventDefault();
        event.data.rotate(3);
    });

Don't forget to add jQuery mobile at http://jquerymobile.com/

go to http://www.albanx.com/?pid=5&subid=18 and download the version I have adapted for touches (that also works for pc)devices. Look the source code if you want to see the details. Hope helps

I've had success with iScroll and it's carousel.
