I think there's a cheap-hack way of doing this. Use ExternalInterface to call "eval" to write a Javascript event listener to the document, and have it pass the event back through to the swf. Just remember that IE has two events for close, though I don't exactly recall what they are- one fires before the document is actually closed, and the other fires after.

Hi to everyone, Is it possible to detect in Flex application browser window close event so that an action can be started when user closes Flex application, does anyone know how to do that if it's possible in the first place? The reason why i am asking this is because i have a multiuser Flex application where every user has it's own directory on a server side. Application has logout button which triggers cleanup of user's directory but what if the user just closes the window? I would like to be able to lunch that same cleanup upon browser close window. thanks in advance -- Best regards, Mirko mailto:msabljic[at]gmail.com
