Inactivity Detect?? (please Help!)

[RickHoeye]

Hello there!

I have a flash piece currently being run on a touch screen monitor. No biggie, since your finger basically becomes the mouse.

BUT, here's the deal. The first frame is a "Touch Here to Start" button. Touch it and it moves you into the main content. So far so good. The client would like the screen to go back to the Touch Here to Start frame after say 5 minutes of inactivity.

I hadn't seen anything previously on this, does anyone have an example or can someone help me out???

Thanks!

You'll need a timer that starts counting down seconds from 5mns to 0 onMouseMove()
you can use setInterval() for that timer

Hey thanks for the reply!

Do you happen to have an example or could you expand on that a little? I'm not exactly sure where to add the scripting.....

add the code on the content frame of the main timeline.

code:

---

this.onMouseMove = function() {

	displayTime = 60;//that's for 1 minute

};

displayTime = 60;//that's for 1 minute

countDown = function () { 

displayTime--;

if (displayTime == 0) {clearInterval(timer);

trace("Times Up!");

}

};

timer = setInterval(countDown, 1000);

---

of course the trace is just for demo purposes. Enter your gotoAndStop() there instead.
