Trying to detect a browser close event and send some data to the database when the user closes the browser window...but can't seem to get it to work.[code]
View 6 RepliesI have a ColdFusion function which sends analytics called from a Flex sendPageAnalytics() function to a SQL database when the user navigates - this works perfectly.What I am trying to do is have the Flex application send a bunch of analytics when the user closes their browser, therefore providing information about the last navigation.
I have used an ExternalInterface callback and listener for window.onbeforeunload and a trace statement tells me that this is working fine.My problem is that when all bundled together, I get as far as tracing out that the sendPageAnalytics() function has been called, but I do not get a sendPageAnalyticsFaultHandler() trace or a sendPageAnalyticsResultHandler() trace, which I do on every other sendPageAnalytics() call.
For example, Lets say I have a flash swf game, and when users press connect they are assigned a random id that's then put into a mysql table. Then I have other users that connect and then can connect to these random ids. When users click disconnect i have the id taken out of the table that way when other people want to connect they dont get ids that arent active. is it possible that when a window is closed to have it run a php script? so i can get it to clear their user id?
View 2 RepliesIn my application the browser window connect with long polling(comet) with the server. If the user open several browser tabs, only one of them(called the master) communicate with the server and serves as a proxy for the other tabs. I want to use flash localConnection to exchange data between the tabs. What happens when a user closes the master tab that holds the comet session? I can use javascript with the unload event to inform the other tabs that the master tab is closing and then close the localConnection but the unload event is unreliable. I can use polling to monitor the master tab connection object but it sound dirty.
When the master is closed one of the other tabs need to become the master. How do I make sure only one of them tries to become the master? If a user close the tab without flash being able to close the localConnection, will it cause a memory leak?

View 2 RepliesI have an RTMP stream loading and would like to know the drop off time of the video. Is there a method of knowing when a person abruptly leaves the video session by closing the window, back button, address bar, etc?Or do i need to make an external interface call from JavaScript to Flash using something like onunload & onbeforeunload events?I am guessing that it is the later, but wanted to see if there was a method of keeping all my code inside of AS3.
View 2 RepliesI'm currently working with a flash movie that opens up an IE browser to an external link.Since I'm working with a presentation that plays automatically after a few seconds and keeps loading new IE browsers with different links, I was wondering if there was a way with AS2, i can have flash close the IE window it opened?
View 1 RepliesQuick question is it possible for perhaps actionscipt and javascript to work together to close a browser window? So when they click exit within flash it unloads the move and closes the browser window it is in?
I've already got the movie unloading it is just the html window.
I am wondering if you can do a close button in a Flash movie if you do not launch the page via a pop up window?
If so, how do you do this?
I simply want to close the browser window from Flash. The browser window may or may not be a popUp window.
This is what I have, but it is not working:
ActionScript Code:
public function closeBrowser(e:MouseEvent):void {
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("javascript:window.opener='x';window.close();");
navigateToURL (req);
}
close w browser window from within the movie, on a button click. I have read zillions of posts and threads, including old stuff dating since 2000 and nothing seems to work.
Code: Select allgetURL("javascript:CloseWindow();");
and tried to "translate" to AS3, doesn't work. Tried to use fscommand "quit", but just got totally lost. The best I did is being able to close SWF when it plays alone, but it doesn't work when it is embedded in HTML.....

View 1 RepliesAny suitable script that will close the browser on clicking a swf quit button as the fscommand below does not work.
close_btn.onRelease = function(){
fscommand("quit");
}
This is for a Moodle application where the swf is opened in a new browser window and it would be cool to close it with the swf quit button.
I am using this command to close a window in flash ms 2004:
Code:
MyButton.onRelease = function ()
{
getURL("javascript:window.close();");
}
But when , I click the button that executes this command, it prompts a window asking me if I'm sure I want to close the browser. How can I eleminate this prompt?

I'm using very successfully the "loadVars.send()", using the POST method. BUT I did not expect to see a popup browser window!? I can shut it down using another javascript, but get a confirmation message (because I didn't open up that unwanted browser window using js)... Is there any way I can call a loadVars send without the popup browser window? I am using: myVars.send ("Aurora.php", "POST"); Using: myVars.send("Aurora.php", "_blank", "POST"); or myVars.send ("Aurora.php", "", "POST"); gets me the same pop up window.

View 6 RepliesI have looked around for this and haven't found a way that clearly explains how to do this. More often than not the button will close the browser window in one but not another browser.
Is the a simple way of closing a browser window in all types of browser ( Or mainly Firefox, IE and safari on both Mac and PC ) with actionscript?
