Major parts of the library have been reworked to support constrained dragging of controls on iOS devices. The implementation in AE 4 now allows dragging multiple controls at the same time on iOs devices. No changes to the syntax were necessary. You can simply set any of the constrain properties and have all of them react on the device.

If you do not automagically receive a new registration code, please get in touch, quoting your purchase order number, so I can get you updated.
