I am pretty new to HTML5. Coming from Flash background, I can call the swipe events easily from Actionscript API. But for HTML5, I believe I have to code this myself by listening to touchstart, touchmove, and touchend. Is there a simpler way to do this? And also I am looking for a website that contains complete HTML5 references
Your best bet for handling touch events is to look at some JavaScript libraries that can handle them: JQuery Mobile, Sencha Touch and jQT (formerly jQTouch) are the big ones.
If you’re not already using JQuery, I would highly recommend it.
As far as HTML references, the (highly verbose and technical) specification document might be too much, so I would suggest starting with w3schools. (A tip: Keep in mind that HTML5 is still a work in progress and browser/client support varies.)
If you need help figuring out how to manipulate the DOM (i.e. how to use JavaScript to make things happen), the JQuery documentation is also be a good reference point.
