Randy,
Someone posted a similar question awhile back. I decided to write this
IdleTimeout class (as an exercise) to see what I could figure out.
Do some testing before using it with your app.
I would greatly appreciate any feedback that you or any other interested
party cares to provide.

* Application IdleTimeout.
*Usage:
*Define a function in your FLA to execute the desired actions when the idle
timeout ellapses.
*Include in your function a 'yourObject.killIdleTimeout()' call
*to clear the interval and turn off the listeners.
*Instantiate this class:
*var yourObject:IdleTimeout = new IdleTimeout(hours, minutes, seconds,
yourFunctionNameHere);

Subject: [Flashcoders] Timeout from Flash page
We've got a Flash intranet app that offers write privileges to the first
user and locks out subsequent concurrent users. Sometimes a user will
walk away without closing the browser or logging out of the app. This
is a problem because the program remains locked indefinitely.
Is there a method in Flash to detect inactivity and forward to a new
page after an interval of time? Tried this with the mouse listener and
it disabled all the buttons.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Randy Tinfow
