second). in frame 30, add a single action:
loadVariables("yourUrlToCheck", 1);
export the movie.
put that in a page, and every 30 seconds, it'll hit whatever URL you
specify. The output from the page should be a valid query string (not
includeing the question mark). The empty string is valid. The help that
comes with Flash is generally pretty good, I thought. Pretty mcuh all I
use.
cheers,

Barney,
Thanks for the advice... Unfortunately I haven't really taken much of a
look into Flash much or Flash Remoting. What would be the easiest way
and could you point me to a couple resources?

It'd be a snap with flash, using either remoting or just a loadVariables
call. I know there was a limitation with flash 5 where you couldn't
make a
movie smaller than 18x18 though. don't know if that's still in place
with 6
(mx) and 7 (mx04).

Subject: Heartbeat with Flash?
Hi All,
Just tried to send this message out a few moments ago and it seemed to
hang. My apologies in advance if it turns into a double post...
I currently have an application that has a built in "heartbeat"... A 1x1
pixel iframe that refreshes itself every 30 seconds.
This heartbeat updates the database and lets me know that a user is
still online. Everything works great except for the fact that MSIE
browsers make a "click" sound every time the refresh takes place. It's
very annoying.
I thought that perhaps I could create a 1x1 pixel flash movie to
accomplish the same thing, only without the annoying click.
Any ideas as to how difficult this would be to implement?
Any other ideas are also more than welcome...
-Novak
