PROXY GESTURE RECOGNIZER

An electronic device displays one or more views. A first view includes a plurality of gesture recognizers. The plurality of gesture recognizers in the first view includes one or more proxy gesture recognizers and one or more non-proxy gesture recognizers. Each gesture recognizer indicates one of a plurality of predefined states. A first proxy gesture recognizer in the first view indicates a state that corresponds to a state of a respective non-proxy gesture recognizer that is not in the first view. The device delivers a respective sub-event to the respective non-proxy gesture recognizer that is not in the first view and at least a subset of the one or more non-proxy gesture recognizers in the first view. The device processes the respective sub-event in accordance with states of the first proxy gesture recognizer and at least the subset of the one or more non-proxy gesture recognizers in the first view.
