Hi all !

From the screen capture of Colby from this thread :

http://www.xlobby.com/forum/viewtopic.p ... highlight=

I am looking for this kind of postit where I could write using my fingers on my touchscreen (not using keyboard !).

I found a lot of kind of this application but no one let me write using my fingers...

Any idea ?
Colby ?

nothin that i know of that will do that... plus writing on a touchscreen with your finger i'm assuming wouldn't look to great unless you are writing really huge.

Pen would also be ok.

What inspired me for this post-it type thing was Crayola.com. My son "fingerpaints" on the touchscreen almost everyday. I am thinking I actually could make the post-it thing easily in flash, which I may do. My touchscreens always allow me to color with my finger. no different than a mouse, line size is set by brushsize not fingerwidth Jowaldo

Sorry to hijack the thread for a moment.

Thanks for the crayola website Colby. I didn't think of that one. I've been trying to find some different sites for my daughter as she's exhausted a bunch of them already.

This should keep her occupied for a while.

Thanks again.

This shouldn't be too difficult to code, and I dunno what the difference between widget and a plugin would be.... :-)

yah when I get more time I will explain the difference between what a widget can do. Basicly though, a widget will be both a stand alone application and a plugin...I mean I'm dumbing it down a lot to somethin realy basic so I don't have to spend hours explaining it...but widgets will have some pretty cool abilities a plugin can't do.
