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 gep ---

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. Ro ---

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. Ro ---

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. ---
