FTV SE - several questions and search is failing me

[eternalphoenix64]

I'm not the most experienced with FTV SE. I've mostly worked with modifying someone else's stuff, developing simple screens to add-on, stuff like that - but I understand most of it pretty well.

I'm working currently on developing an application that is intended to be deployed on a mobile platform (Windows Tablets), but currently just working on a demo version. I've gotten most of it done, but in the initial review, I had some requests that I'm starting to struggle with.

1. If the client device has a battery, is there a way to grab that data and turn it into a tag for doing some sort of battery level indication?
2. Is there anything available on the market for doing radial progress bars? Even if I have to pay for it. I'm not afraid of making the animation myself, but I wouldn't be able to make it very "clean" with the time available to me. They wouldn't necessarily be 0-100%, they could be temp, flow, etc.
3. Is there a way that I can simulate an IP camera from say a publicly-available internet webcam? I can't seem to find the right combination of object/properties/connections to make this happen, and I don't have any hardware to generate THE activeX object I would really need in a real application
4. What the heck am I doing wrong with an alarm command? I have the command

   Appstart "googlechrome.exe file path" "file.htm file path"

   and Chrome will only open in the background UNLESS it has been minimized before this. I wanted Chrome to pop up on top (help file for troubleshooting causes of alarms) so I tried adding

   AppActivate "File Title - Google Chrome"

   and haven't had any success (tried without file title too).

I appreciate any help that anyone can provide. Supposed to have all of this ready to go by Friday to present to sales folks.

I take it this will have to be done on each client machine as well? Making sure before I go grab the test tablet from my boss's office and cause him to disinfect the whole room again.
