Unfortunately that is not an option. This is a video player tracking system on a very public landing page.
Would onbeforeunload work better? Is there a way to just delay the closing of a page before it happens (behind the scenes)? Any other javascript events that would work better? ---------------------------------------- From: Seth Hodgson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, December 09, 2008 10:32 AM To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Call Flex from JavaScript You need to pop a Javascript alert in your trackClosing() method to keep the browser from closing until the user clicks the OK button. This technique is a hack, but an alert generally leads to a long enough delay in user interaction (say a second or two) to finish making your call into the Player before the browser process exits.

Any ideas on what I am doing wrong? ________________________________________ From: Seth Hodgson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, December 09, 2008 9:50 AM To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Call Flex from JavaScript This page in the LCDS docset describes this specifically: http://livedocs.adobe.com/livecycle/8.2/programLC/programmer/lcds/help.html?content=lcconnections_4.html#1074309 The scenario in the docs is dealing with notifying the server that the client is going away, in order to short-circuit the slower normal notification based on server session timeout. But you could use the same technique to achieve other things as well.
