I was actually using a swhx/haxe/neko app for the kiosk where I used the activity monitor. The code was a port of an old as2 class I wrote a few years ago. You are probably right about the timer reset. patches welcome Thanks for the code review and tips, doug . I was actually using a swhx/haxe/neko app for the kiosk where I used the activity monitor.

I've also been working on something similar to your ActivityMonitor. The implementation is very similar: we both use the MouseEvent and KeyboardEvent to keep track of user activity. You know, if you use AIR as your platform, you could also use NativeApplication API, which provides everything we need and it's much simplier to use. One comment on your impl: you could use a flag in your ActivityMonitor to store user idle (true/false). Then in the MouseEvent/KeyboardEvent you set the flag. From there, on every tick of the timer, you just need to look at the flag to decide what to do. I originally went with your impl but I think resetting/starting the timer is something expensive specially it gets called almost constantly with each user activity. Just an opinion Hello,

If I wanted to load several dynamic images of different widths and heights into the grid and wanted to butt them right next to each other, is that possible. So instead of specifying a specific item width and height, they would just take on the size of the image. Thanks! It's a great utility! Hello,
