Here's a working class I whipped up. It uses onMouseMove to monitor
their activity.
// BEGIN CLASS
// ActivityMonitor
// Created by Chester McLaughlin on 2006-11-09.
import mx.utils.Delegate;
import mx.events.EventDispatcher;
class ActivityMonitor {
var nLatestActivity:Number;
var nMaxIdleTime:Number;
var nIntervalID:Number;
var onMaxIdleTimeExceeded:Function;
private var broadcastMessage:Function;
public var addListener:Function;
function ActivityMonitor(nMaxIdleTime:Number)
{
AsBroadcaster.initialize(this);
Mouse.addListener(this);
this.onMouseMove();
this.nMaxIdleTime = nMaxIdleTime;
this.nIntervalID = setInterval(Delegate.create
(this,checkForActivity),5000);
}
function checkForActivity(){
var nNow = getTimer();
var nDiff = (nNow - this.nLatestActivity)/1000;
if (nDiff >= this.nMaxIdleTime){
this.broadcastMessage("maxIdleTimeExceeded",nDiff);
this.onMaxIdleTimeExceeded(nDiff);
}
}
function onMouseMove()
{
this.nLatestActivity = getTimer();
}
};
// END CLASS
// BEGIN USAGE
/*
import ActivityMonitor;
// This creates an instance of Activity Monitor that requires the user
// to move their mouse at least once every 5 seconds
var myActivityMonitor:ActivityMonitor = new ActivityMonitor(5);
// Method #1
myActivityMonitor.onMaxIdleTimeExceeded = function(nDiff:Number){
//var nDiff:Number = arguments[0];
trace("Method 1: You've been idle for "+nDiff+" seconds. Get
Moving!!!");
}
// Method #2
myActivityMonitor.addListener(this);
function maxIdleTimeExceeded(nDiff:Number){
trace("Method 2: You've been idle for "+nDiff+" seconds. Get
Moving!!!");
}
*/
// END USAGE

My application starts with a user login/authentication. I want to
implement an idle user process that logs the user out after X
amount of
time of no activity.
The most obvious way I can think to do this is to start an interval
timer, and keep reseting it any time a widget is used. That means
adding a reset-function call to every component event handler, plus
adding event handlers for many components that otherwise don't have
relevant events.
Does anyone have a more clever way of handling this?
