im actually developing a kiosk program. when the user stop moving the mouse on the screen for 30 second. the current page will automatically back to main page. Im using flash mx. i already using getTimer() function. The problem is that how im i going to detect the mouse movement. if the mouse move the timer will start to count again until the user not doing anything or idle for 30 second. please helps

u can set AS with an event handler  
on(mousemove){  
get timer()  
}  
this should give u the time elapsed since the last mouse move  
and hence u can set if ==30 sec(ur time limit){  
(perform action)  
}  
i think this should be of some help to you.

```auto
seconds = 30;//how many seconds of inactivity
function screenSaver() {
//actions to be performed if the idle
//time is equal to the value of seconds
}
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
	elapsedTime = Math.floor(getTimer()/1000-initial);
	if(elapsedTime == seconds){
screenSaver();
}
};
this.onMouseMove = function() {
	initial = getTimer()/1000;
};

```
