Using the Cursor field object

The Cursor field object reports whenever you put your finger down on the screen within a region.

You can find the Cursor Field object in the Tools/Effects category. IN0 reports 1 when you touch a single cursor fields, IN1 reports dragging. Dragging (IN1) can be done from one cursor field to another and they will both report the drag event. IN0 will only report the first cursor field you click on until you release your finger again. IN2 is not used and serves no purpose at this point.
