Liela,
The devil is in the details, but chances are Director can display
whatever media you have in your pages. And if it can do that, setting up
the tracking part would likely be trivial for many of the developers on
this list.
I'm not available, but I'm guessing you'll get a few responses from others.
Good luck and I'm sorry to hear about that "astronomical price"
contractor. Ouch.

Greetings, List,
My firm is currently working on a kiosk project that, if our current
solution fails, might have to be done in Director. While I can do
simple Director work, I am a graphic designer, not a programmer, and
my Lingo skills are quite limited. As a result, should we turn this
into a Director-based affair, we will need to hire someone to do the
following (IF it is possible through Lingo):
- We would need some kind of solution that would track the path of a
visitor through various "pages" of content in much the same way that
Apache does for web sites; e.g., what buttons were clicked, what
movies were watched, dates, times, some way of differentiating between
visitors (probably time-contingent), etc.
- We would need to generate some kind of log of this activity that is
either written directly to a CSV file or can be easily converted to
said format. Also acceptable would be a log file like those Apache
generates that can be run through something like Web Trends or Urchin.
Is something in this vein possible using Lingo? If you say yes,
awesome. If you could do this in a time-efficient and cost-effective
manner, you may be the answer to our prayers. We are not interested in
novices who will take four weeks and thousands of dollars to develop
this portion of the project; we've already wasted money on someone who
promised a lot and delivered little at an astronomical price.
Again, this is not a guaranteed job; this is our fall-back in case our
current solution fails. If you can tell me if what I've outlined is
possible through Lingo, contact me via the list. If you are interested
in possibly working on this, please contact me off-list. Also, if you
are from/close to the Denver, Colorado area (or, even better, Fort
Collins!) I'm especially interested in hearing from you.
I hope sending this out to the list is not inappropriate; if so, my
advance apologies (but do note that a legit question is incorporated,
which makes this more than a mere wanted ad!). Many thanks for
considering this inquiry/call for experts!
Cheers,
Leila
