ActionScript 2.0 :: Flash Touchscreen Kiosk Program?
Dec 22, 2009
i have created a program in flash to run on several touchscreen kiosks here in my city. its a simple flash presentation and uses basic actionscript 2.0 for navigation etc. and its all working fine. now, the organizers want me to create a hit counter that can track how many people are using the kisosk services. so basically, each time someone hits the home button, a "hit" should be generated.
now i know of some scripts that use flash and PHP that can do that, but unfortunately i dont know how i can use it. The program that runs on the kisosks is just a flash file rendered as an exe and installed on the machines. i know basic PHP but as far as i am aware of, u need to run PHP through some HTML pages to be able to use it. besides, you would also need a php server to be able to get the hit counter working.
so my question is, is there a way to have the hits generated and stored in some kind of file (text, or xml or anything)? it has to be generated from within the swf file and stored to the (text, XML?) file.

I need to know all methods to exit from a fullscreen mode of a flash application on a touchscreen (because i want that people exit with my custom button).
I know that with a traditional desktop, ESC of the keyboard and double click with left button of the mouse allow to exit from fullscreen (like youtube).

I'm developing a kiosk in AS3 that utilizes StageVideo (publishing for FP 10.2 on a Mac Mini). It works fine, except as soon as StageVideo is engaged the mouse becomes visible. This is a public kiosk so I need the mouse to stay hidden.

putting a Flash application on the Xoom tablet or another Android device w/ touchscreen?
I have a Flash presentation that is built in Papervision 3D and I want to put it on the Xoom tablet. Are there different event handlers to make the touchscreen work or will normal button events port correctly?
I have exported the application into an Air Android application.. I'm waiting for my Xoom tablet to test it out.

We have create a flash file for both Touchscreen TV and Website.The document frame is is 1920x1080 however we would like to export the project so it can be seen on the website at the correct compression.Is there a way to export the SWF to the required 945x532.I know how to export it in the HTML however this reads the same SWF that is still too large in file size (not web friendly).I could pull the compression down to say 10% before exporting the SWF however there must be a better method.

We have created an interactive Touchscreen using flash CS4 - [URL]
The Touchscreen is already in the showroom. Every morning it is restarted. By midday the whole application slows down to the point were it becomes very slow. I presume this is a caching problem. In order to resolve this we close down IE and restart it (playing the SWF file through Internet Explore on full screen mode). Once it has restarted it plays at the correct speed.
I have thought about setting up windows 7 to reboot IE and have the flash file restart every few hours however a client may be navigating through the display when it reboots it self. I would prefer to avoid this if possible.

I am trying to create a button that will close Kiosk Mode (IE), but havent been able to find an example any place. I have tried using the fscommand function but do not get any results, and i think this is because when i launch kiosk mode i am launching the swf instead of the htm file.

i am self-taught and i have pretty good as3 and mxml skills and have worked with Flash Pro and Flex, but only for my own stuff at home. i have only done local AIR stuff that don't require sending and getting data from a server now someone has asked if i could build him a kiosks/server system, and i want to dive into that the kiosks would be deployed in stores and have touchscreens displaying pictures, movies, banners and accept user control and data.i plan to build his remote controlling software in Flex and the kiosk AIR apps in Flex or Flash pro.the kiosks should periodically connect to the server to see if updates are available and download swf, jpeg and movie (mp4? flv?) files to the local filesystem (no live streaming is needed)also, user created data (forms only) should be sent to the server - i guess xml.[code]can all this be in as3 alone or do i need stuff like php also?also, would i be able in the controlling flex app to determine if specific kiosks are offline?

There is a known problem with swf's with nested mc's embedded in a director projector when used on a touchscreen (with dragmode enabled). Basically, the problem is that flash requires a mouseRollOver event to give the focus to the mc, before it registers an onPress. With a touchscreen, where the cursor is disabled, the first click and release on the swf (or nested mc's) reads as an onRollOver event, and the user must click again to register an onPress and onRelease. This leads to very confusing behaviours in my application where I have dots (embedded mc's) being created when an image is touched, then the dots can be clicked and dragged, or double tapped to be removed.
All works fine when the mouse and cursor is used, but I can't get it to work using a single tap on the touchscreen. In some cases I can get away with using onRollOver but when used with startDrag I can't think of a way of stopping the drag when the user lifts their finger. (which doesn't register as an event). What I need is an AS2 script that forces a click event (onPress) when the user taps the button once. Unfortunately I only know AS2 so can't use mouseEvents from AS3.

I have created a flash program and I would like to run a second flash program from inside the first. To explain, say I am running a program that draws a circle and fills it with a color. Then, I have designed a second program that will divide a circle into sectors by entering percentages, to turn that circle into a pie chart. Is there a way to be running the "draw a circle" program and have a button that opens the "divide the circle into sectors" program in a new window and then passes information from that program to the first program. I am sure I will have to send the information from the second program to an XML file and then have the first program recieve it from the XML file (which I can do), but I don't know if I can run the second program from inside the first program.

We are doing our second kiosk using Flash and Jugglor. The system uses a 1024x786 touch screen (15") for user input and a 1366x768 Flatscreen (37") for information display.The program is created in Flash with a stage that is 2390x768 (2390=1366+768) We use a 2-headed nVidia card and their drivers split the info onto the proper screens.Works swell! In this iteration, we are using more full-screen hi-def on the info screen and I can't, for the life of me, get a solid answer as to the best way to take advantage of hardware acceleration for hi-def video playback in the CPU (Intel/XP) or the graphics card.
I know that most DVD players are able to do this, but there is enough stammering on the flash playback to suggest that the video is not getting a full boost from the silicon.

I need to create a game for an interactive kiosk. The game is fairly basic, it will most likely be done in flash/AS3 (I believe this is the best choice for this kind of game) UNLESS the dual display requirement is far easier to accomplish with a different technology. The kiosk consists of two displays, both of which need to show separate content from within the same game. Here's the question: How can I (or anyone) create a flash game that utilizes two separate displays for different content? (This is not just a wider field of vision for the game, the two screens will show different things.)
My Idea (probably not the best):
Design the game on a canvas twice as wide as one of the monitors, then split the canvas in half and code the game to output different things to each half of the screen. Then run the monitors in "extended desktop" mode or something like that, and make sure that the split between the two desktops occurs in the middle of the game canvas. The two displays are being fed from the same machine and same graphics adapter. The whole "kiosk" is powered by one single machine.

What I need to create a touchscreen restaurant ordering system?
I've got the touch UI understood and implemented 100%.
What I can't figure out is how to implement the "Send order to kitchen" and "Call waiter" functions.
Each table will have a "client" computer running an air app. Calling the "Send order to kitchen" and "Call waiter" functions from the "client" computer should make the "client" communicate with a different "kitchen" computer over wifi.

I am working on a touch screen project right now. There is a chance that the touchscreen will never be turned off, so I have to be very aware of the memory issue with the pc. I don't want the memory to keep building up and eventually it just freezes up the pc. Basically, I have separated each section into a separate swf. The idea is to load only the swf that is needed in order to optimize memory usage. I tested the app on a pc, when looking at the "processes" in the window task manager, it seems the memory used will just keep increasing as I navigate through the application, it seems to me it just keeps piling up external swfs in the application, but sometimes the memory will just suddenly decrease. And when the touchscreen application is idle, the memory will drop too.
The following code is what I used to load and unload the external swf. Did I do it right? Is there anything that may have left unnoticed that is still staying in the memory? Is there any other way to optimize the memory usage too?
ActionScript Code:
var prevLevel:* = this.parent;
var currentPage:MovieClip;
var oldPage:MovieClip;
var bgID:String;

I'm trying to create a web based welcome display for a building entrance. The project would include:
1) A wmv movie play constantly on the digital display until some visitors touch the screen (this can be played either locally or on the internet, but it has to be able to go to number 2 when visitors touch the screen)
2) A couple of buttons with department names show up for visitors to choose who they are here to see
3) After the visitor touch on one button, an email is sent to the department
4) the site should go back to the number 1) again
My experience is html, css, php, javascript, and some Flash, but I'm open to learn new skills. Can someone please suggest some good ways to build this site? Is there any tutorials or good sites I can learn from, that would be a bonus. Edit: so I'll use html5 and javascript. I have a couple of further questions, Since this is going to be a kiosk, the same movie is going to be played constantly, everytime after the customer has contacted us, the 'thank you' page is going to show briefly and go back to the first movie page. My question is how can I not let the movie load again and again everytime when there is a customer?
Because the local data space for the display is going to be limited. I've been thinking if I just create one page for the whole process and use a javascript slide to make each page as a div, so the movie div is going to be hiden so it doesn't need to be reloaded again, would that fix number 1) data space concern? I'm thinking of using a horizontal slide like [URL] How can I make the last div (thank you) to show about 5 secs and go to the first div (movie) again?

So I have a series of kiosks I'm converting to AS3. On one frame is an animated clip (serving as screensaver), and on the second frame is an interactive clip. Clicking the screensaver forwards to the interactivity.In AS2, I used to set a timeout for not clicking on the screen to go back to the animation frame like this (with this code on actions layer in second frame):
ActionScript Code:
var timeoutID:Number;
function timedOut () {
