Hi guys…
need some help with this one.
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.
any help or pointing in the right direction will be greatly appreciated.
thanks, and regards,
Brainstormer
