RE: [Flashcoders] Timeout from Flash page
You could go for a serverpage that is polled every minute or so from the flashclient, with sendandload or xmlsocket. If the poll doesn't arrive anymore, unlock the file. This way the file could be locked for one minute when a client has gone, not more... Don't put the unlocking logic into a client... -Oorspronkelijk bericht- Van: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Namens Randy Tinfow Verzonden: donderdag 25 mei 2006 22:07 Aan: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Onderwerp: [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.

RE: [Flashcoders] Timeout from Flash page
Sorry, didn't read the question right. The below still stands imho. But you could start a global timer and on every mousemove or keypress reset it. If the timer reaches it's end, give the user a popup with a 30 sec answer period. If the user doen't interact, unlock the file and the user is readonly. -Oorspronkelijk bericht- Van: Bernard Visscher [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Verzonden: donderdag 25 mei 2006 22:12 Aan: 'Flashcoders mailing list' Onderwerp: RE: [Flashcoders] Timeout from Flash page You could go for a serverpage that is polled every minute or so from the flashclient, with sendandload or xmlsocket.

RE: [Flashcoders] Timeout from Flash page
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);
