At this stage in my project I only want to use the swipe events of jQuery Mobile. I've used the download builder with just the default options ticked, and that gives me the events required. However I am trying to modify the value of  $.event.special.swipe.horizontalDistanceThreshold as I find the default value doesn't suit my needs. But it appears that this property needs to be changes within the mobileinit event which doesn't get fired at all. I have my scripts included in the correct order (jQuery, mine, jQuery Mobile), so I assume that mobileinit isn't being fired as it is not included in the jQuery Mobile build I downloaded.

Could anyone tell me which other boxes I need to tick in order to get the mobileinit event in my JQM build? Or if there is another way to configure that property? I've tried doing it inline, or on document ready with no success.

Thanks in advance.
