Good afternoon,

I'm looking to make mobile (ios/Android) controls for a game. The player will frequently use the joystick for moving and another joystick for shooting.

I am looking at the best way to implement this. I haven't tested it but I am certain that we can not have two MouseMoving procs at once.

You'll have to write the joystick controls in HTML5 and rely on the webclient.

You'll want to look up the touch event specification outlined in HTML5:
