yes. it needs to be converted to a flash .swf file (which we can do for you). You can do it yourself by buying a copy of Macromedia Flash (there are instructions to do the conversion at http://www.online-kiosks.net/data/flashspec.html). You have to run the standalone version of the player due to security issues that Macromedia has put in place. Essentially, you can play video on the standalone kiosk, but not on the web demo.

I dont understand the standalone kiosk web demo statement

I understand everything EXCEPT this statement...

Standalone Kiosk Program Explanation

Normally, your customers will view their kiosk by running a web browser, going to the online-kiosks.net site and play the kiosk through the browser. that makes it so that you dont need to install a program on the computer that is playing the kiosk. Our video files normally need to be located on the hard drive where the kiosk is being played. Due to security issues, a separate program needs to be downloaded to the customer's computer to play the video files. Once it is setup, to play the kiosk, the customer double clicks on an icon on their desktop.
