responder chain goes subview to superview, what about scrollview?

Question

From apple doc subview(near to the screen) gets to handle a touch event first than their superviews.

On the other hand, views are added to a scroll view as a subview but the scroll view handles touch to detect swipes first.

Can I treat the scrollview case as a special case?

Check out the WWDC videos on scroll views, they discuss this sort of thing — jrturton, Jul 02 '12 at 08:19

Don't forget this part:

If the hit-test view cannot handle the event, the event travels up the responder chain as described in “Responder Objects and the Responder Chain” until the system finds a view that can handle it.

if your sub-view can't handle it, it will be passed to the UIScrollView.
