Traking and recording user's clicks/navigation

1

B4 anything let me be clear on something:
I’m dessigning a flash interface for a info kiosk, at a store. NOT FOR THE WEB.
it’s stand alone.

So it’s possible to trak what the user has click , how often, when , etc ,etc,
and then somehow create a report of it, by using Action script???
I have found other applications/programs that trak web stats. But I’m not using the web at all, so I’m kind of lost. Does anybody know of an app that does this, or like I said, can it be done by action script.

anyhelp , lots of thanks

You could store in arrays every click on button, yes, why not…

gep,
I am also designing a kiosk-type standalone application where we need to keep track of pages visited. Since I have multi levels I set up a history array in level 0. Then at every movie I put this in the first frame:
[AS]_level0.history.push(name of page);[/AS]

That should do it.

gracias rolando,
But I don’t really understend how the history array on level 0 gets the info from each movie, and how can I do someting useful with it, like create report or text file to visualize this information.
are there any tutorials on how to do this???
much thanks

Gepo,
Including the name of the page I am also inluding the time the user reached there. like: [AS]_level0.history.push(“Home Page|” + currentTime());[/AS]
(currentTime() is a function that I wrote to return time as HH:MM:SS form).

So at the end I’ll have an array with a bunch of entries like so:
Home Page|10:55:23
Second Page|11:00:01
.
.
.

I then use the split("|") function to break up each entry of the array into their own parts and use that data to enter it in an XML document. This will then be entered into a database.

As for tutorials don’t know of any that might help.

Here’s an example:

And here’s one that tracks the users actions to a textbox. You can change the text it adds to the array (and outputs to the textfield) to anything you want for every button.
