I was able to get a working demo with NME 3.1 Beta 2. Thanks for the update! Hopefully I'll have enough free time in the next week to put together something for the App Hack challenge.
I made an attempt at this as well. The code will compile fine, but it appears that the multitouch events themselves aren't being dispatched or triggered on the touchpad.
Just tried out a few other file formats using the sound tutorial as a template. Only other audio file that works is OGG. I'm sure there's documentation somewhere about this but AAC and FLAC files won't load with Assets.getSound(). Mp3 files load fine but they just don't play or I'm missing a step.
I've encountered the same issue as well. I'm using NME 3.1 Beta and testing on a Touchpad with 3.0.4 Build 77. I'm having trouble getting mp3s to play but no issues so far with wav files.
