  meaning how to do it flash or over all structure of how this is done?

  you need touch screen and processor with I/O which communicates with flash.

  flash to communicate with external physical device.
  you would need to have touch screen to communicate either using C++ and programmable chip set with flash.

  you can use input / output port to communicate also.

  there is no real plus and plug solution. since flash needs to programmed to communicate and also chip set needs to be programmed.

  this was a sketch that i did about 9 years ago when i did motion detection using web cam + director with external devices.

  the principal is same except that capture device is different. actually this is how MS Surface works. it captures the image and interacts with it. The capture device for touch screen would be the out put of the touch screen sensitivity.

  You really just need to know flash, and adjust your interaction methods a bit. Any basic touchscreen controller will convert your press into a standard mouse click, and most can handle dragging out of the box as well. In other words, just learn flash, and the right hardware will do the rest.

    I know flash just fine - so what is the missing piece of the puzzle?– jevad4/8

    what looks hard?– MrDinky5/8

    hardware connectivity– MrDinky6/8

    yes and multi click screens will work with any technology , including ajax– BattleAxe7/8

    Maybe "hard" was the wrong word, "complicated" might be better, but it's not if you know flash...– NONEIS8/8

  like most people said, great flash skills and a good understanding of how people interact with touchscreens is really all you need. The screen interprets the inputs.

  Used these in the past, great products and one of the largest screens available. at least that was true a few years back.

  yea lots of screens out there coming out that do this by default and will just react to the actions , can be flash or ajax , web app , iphone was the baby , that tech is out and big screens are next and out already , but flash looks nice , you will need a high powered pc of coarse , they are monitors after all

  Yesterday I touched a button on DVD menu displayed on my TV. The interesting part is, as my finger went towards the screen I realized it was pointless, but didn't stop, had to press it.
  Steve Jobs did a great job reprogramming me for the new era.
