Hi all, I've been using GSAP for a while now and frequently browse the forums for advice/tips. The GSAP team makes amazing products and I couldn't be happier with them. Thanks for all the great work!

 

Recently I've been having a lot of fun with the Draggable utility, but just ran in to a couple of problems today within the Chrome browser on Android. 

 

I would like to start dragging my Draggable when a separate "anchor" element outside of the Draggable is dragged (touchmove'd) left or right. Kind of like a "hotspot" to start the dragging action. For reasons unknown to me, the following codepen does not work properly. However, if I change all "touchmove" listeners to "mousedown" listeners, the codepen behaves as expected when using a mouse.

 

Full disclosure: it's actually a different issue I was trying to resolve regarding the way Chrome handles touch events vs pointer events when I ran into this little stumbling block. I'm sure that my issue here is something small/silly. Thanks!
