I was wondering if you can make an eventlistener to trigger to execute a function when the window/tab viewing the swf is closed. I searched around, and there seems to be a way to do this with flash.external class and javascript, but some users have javascript disabled, so is there a way to achieve this without javascript?
View 3 RepliesI have a Flex client application. I need a clean up function to run in Flex when the user closes the browser. I found the following solution on the net, but it only works half-way for me. How could I fix it?CustomEvent triggered, but not executed. >> EventHandler for CustomEvent.SEND_EVENTS is defined by a Mate EventMap. All the handler does is to call an HTTPServiceInvoker. In debug console, I'm able to see the handler and HTTPServiceInvoker being triggered, but neither the resultHandlers nor the faultHandlers were called. I know this event handler has no problem because when I dispatch the same CustomEvent.SEND_EVENTS in a button click handler, it behaves exactly as I expected)Browser seems to wait for cleanUp function to complete before it closes. (all traces were printed before browser closes down)
Code
I added the following into the index.template.html
window.onbeforeunload = clean_up;

View 3 RepliesI'm developing an AIR application which uses multiple windows. I'm running into an issue where I want to open new windows (toaster notifications for example) when the primary application window is not visible, but the behavior is different depending on how the window is closed.
When a user hides all application windows with CMD-H, opening a new window causes all application windows to come back to the foreground (instead of just that new window, like I would expect). If the user closed a window with CMD-W, however, that window does not become visible when I open a new window.
Is there a way to either 1) tell when the user uses cmd-h to hide all windows OR 2) tell whether a window is hidden using cmd-h vs. closed cmd-w?
I have created a simple slideshow of thirteen frames. The slideshow script starts at Frame 2. This is because I have inserted a preloader in Frame 1. When I output my SWF and upload it to the web, it pulls down without incident. However, when I "Simulate Download" locally, Flash says this in the Output window:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at AS3GallerywPreloader_fla::MainTimeline/updatePreloader()
[AS3GallerywPreloader_fla.MainTimeline::frame1:9]
And it keeps writing this error message, ad infinitum, until I close the SWF movie window!
Here is the preloader script:
stop();
loaderInfo.addEventListener (ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, updatePreloader);
function updatePreloader (evtObj: ProgressEvent): void{
var percent:Number = Math.floor((evtObj.bytesLoaded*100) /evtObj.bytesTotal);
preloader_txt.text = percent+"%";
if (percent==100) {
nextFrame ();
}}
I should note that the slideshow portion functions as it should (the Back and Forward buttons advance frame by frame). In essence, the whole movie works. But I suspect I that error code is a bad thing to have. I ran the "Debug" feature (Debug-->Debug Movie), but got no apparent indication of a bad line of code.
In Flex (Flash Builder 4) I am opening a new window via PopUpManager.addPopUp. I have timer code that runs in my component and I need to stop my timer when that window opens and start the timer again when the window closes.
I figure it's easy enough to stop the timer in the function that opens the window, but how can I start the timer again when the window closes?
Is there a way to tell if there is a pop-up window in front of my component, or if a specific pop-up window is still open via PopUpManager?

(I thought I might be able to do it with onUnload, but that will only work for unloading movieclips, not closing the main swf.)

I was wondering if flex has some events that can call before I close the whole application or close browser. Since I would like to send a httpservice to a php before the swf is closed. I tried this before:

But it didn't work.
I have a chat program built using flash for the front end tied to a J2EE back end. My program creates socket connections which must be closed appropriately when a user signs off.
When a user decides to sign off they can click the sign off button and everything is peachy. However, a less responsible user may choose to sign off by simply killing the browser window. Is there any way to implicitly call an actionscript routine on this event?
I have a Flash application that receives data from a php application in xml format. Would it be possible for me to call functions in flash that it receives in xml format?

Would I be able to get that function executed in the Flash application?

I would like to download a function as a string from my server into a Flash swf-document on the computer of a customer. So this download would be executed client-side. Then I would like to 'execute' the string, just as I do with the 'eval'-function in php/javascript.The important thing here is that the function is not stored client-side on the harddisk (like the swf-document) and that the function only remains in the computer memory.

The reason the previous and next buttons don't work is because their functions are within a main function that is called onRelease of one the number buttons. Once you click the numbers, the previous and next start to work.
