great idea. I will look into this and hopefully it should
work. Thanks, Barry From:
[email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Abdul Qabiz Hi, Another way is
to catch the unload events of browser in _javascript_. I am not
sure, if it works consistently in all browsers but IE
and Firefox 0.9 version support it. So make sure of such things
before using... Search for
onBeforeUnload and onUnload events for browser. The logic could
be: - User tries to close
the browser - you capture the event
in onBeforeUnload, show a _javascript_ alert to user that "s/he should save
data before existing, click Ok to save or Cancel to
close".. - If user clicks Ok,
s/he on same, send a notification to Flex app using (_javascript_ or
_javascript_FlashKit). - Flex app saves data
to DB and closes the browser when done... Does that sound good?
you will need to test this approach properly. Link for a demo of
onBeforeUnload(..) http://www.4guysfromrolla.com/demos/OnBeforeUnloadDemo1.htm http://www.4guysfromrolla.com/webtech/100604-1.shtml You can use the
technique mentioned there.... Link for

[email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dirk Eismann You could use the application
server's session management - the user session will time out by
default after a given amount of inactivity so you could probably hook in
there. If you need some kind of real-time
logging then you might want to take a look at the Flash Comm Server - this
way you could establish a persistent connection between client and server.
If the browser is closed the connection to the Flash Comm Server will be closed
and the Flash Comm Server in turns could send a Remoting request to your backend
and inform it to write to the db. One implication is that the Flash
Comm Server uses the RTMP protocol which may not get through a restricted
firewall. It's also possible to tunnel RTMP through HTTP but again, a packet
filter could suppress this traffic. Dirk. Von:
[email protected] im Auftrag von Barry Corrigan Hello
all, I wish to write to a database
whenever a user logs out. When the browser is closed, this is an implicit
logout: the user can click the close icon on the title bar, go to File-Exit in
the browser's menu, press Alt-F4, browse to another page, etc. It would be nice
to be able to catch when this happens, so as to write the log and logout the
user. I have tried using the unload
event in the Application tag, but this does not seem to
work. Does anybody have any other ideas?
Is there soemthing obvious I am missing? Thanks a
lot, Barry.
