Well let's see:

1. Yes that's no problem, just add the appropriate media player actions to your buttons.
2. No idea about touch screens whatsoever but you can use ESC to get out of full screen.
3. You need to use a TEXT OBJECT > SET TEXT action to insert the contents of that variable into a text object on your stage.

Sounds like you are rushing things a bit though, spend a few days experimenting with AutoPlay Media Studio and you will have all the skills you need to achieve these basic tasks. Trying to learn how to do things without experimenting with the app and at least becoming a little bit familiar with the app will not achieve professional results.

It's a very easy app to learn and after a few hours of diligent experimentation you should start to get comfortable with it.

Cory i managed to display the time and date but i want it to be as a working visibale clock with out the need of a click.
currently i have start on initialize of the page then it displays the same time it doesnt change is the a loop other than goto label because when i did it the preveiw jammed

set a variable like %TimeOnOff% = On
then do a:

WHILE %TimeOnOff% = On
Get current Time = %CurrentTime%
Set.Text (Text object whatever) to %CurrentTime%
END WHILE

Or something along those lines.

If you want it based on a button you can have the button set the variable of %TimeOnOff% to either On or Off. Use If statements to turn it into a toggle button. I think there is an example of the toggle button in the Knowledgebase.

If you want more help or my instructions are vague, let me know and I will do what more I can.
