I am hoping someone more versed in action script 3 for air can help me!

I have an app, which I am planning to display on the ipad at an exhibition. Would I be able to add some code to the action script,
which will restart the app after a certain amount of time (say 5 minutes) if it has not been interacted with i.e. the screen has not been touched?

I would be very grateful if someone could help me with this
