Any chance it's possible without using AJAX?

 You can all of this using AJAX with flex

 Subject: [flexcoders] logout user after cookie expires (state change)
 
 
 
 Hi all,
 I'm using PHP + Flex, and I'm pretty new to using sessions and session
 data. I've figured out how to create a cookie, make it expire, etc...
 
 I need to check the session ID with every HTTPService request, and if
 it's not valid, log the user out (make a state change in Flex). 
 
 Also, if the cookie expires, I need the user to be logged out.
 
 Does anyone know how I can check this and trigger a state change (to
 logged out state)? 
 
 Thanks

I've been having trouble getting AJAX and Flex to work...
I've followed the readme exactly, I can get the few methods available
from FABridge, but I keep getting this error:

Access of possibly undefined property flash through a reference with
static type Class

it's coming from this line 

public function useBridge():void
{
var flexApp = FABridge.flash.root();
}

I suggest letting the server tell you if the session has expired. You 
are sending the cookie anyway either in the request header or in the 
url.

If the server always returns a status node with code and severity, 
you can check the value of severity (0=success, 1=warning, 2=error, 
3=fatal) and act upon the specifed code (e.g. dialog the user, modify 
the cookie, dispatch a sessionHasEnded event.) Use the severity to 
determine error or success and use the code to determine the behavior 
and to localize the dialog message**)

At the company I work for, our messages are actually soap and 
sessions are based on SAML so they're a just little more complicated 
than the samples below, but these illustrate it better anyway.

REST Request :
http://helloworld.com/getWallet?id=[cookie-value]

Good response
Response
  Header
Status code=wallet_servlet.success severity=0 message=* /
Session id=[some-new-cookie-value || original-cookie]/
  /Header
  Body
!-- Empty Wallet --Wallet/
  /Body
/Response


Bad Response:

Response
  Header
Status code=wallet.session_error severity=1 message=* /
Session id=/
  Header
  Body/
/Envelope

* I could generate some Lorem ipsum dolor for the message but a  
simple message is good for wap clients etc that have room for 
localization messages.
** In your localization file you can say something like 
wallet.session_error=You must be logged in to do that.
