Notification of internet use in Rev standalone

[Thomas McGrath III]

Paul,

Hi, I've read all of the responses so far to your concept. Some are  
pretty good and you should consider them. That said, if this is for  
OSX only then why not just make the stack sized to the screenRect and  
then set the window type to systemWindow. That way the window while  
open will always 'float above everything' and not allow the user to  
even get to any other application.

You may have to monitor active windows and if changed set the center  
of this stack to the active window if people are using "Spaces" or  
multiple monitors.

This will not work on windows since Revolution does not treat the  
systemWindow the same on Windows. On Windows you can minimize the  
stack of a systemWindow to the start bar which would then allow the  
user to access an internet application. On OSX there is no minimize  
with a systemWindow.
