Thinking of switching to AS3

Hi, I make games using AS2 but I heard that AS3 stuff can be exported as android applications. If I have commands such as objects following mouse clicks or doing stuff like slashing and shooting guns when you do stuff with the mouse, would those commands translate into swipes and finger presses automatically when the game's exported as an android app or file or whatever it's called? Thanks in advance.

There are separate "touch events" that you have access to. This includes swiping, multi-finger touches, gestures, etc. Here's where you can get started learning how they work: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/events/TouchEvent.html
