Flex :: Air - Detecting When User Idle For 5 Minutes?
Feb 4, 2010How can I tell when a user has been idle for say 5 minutes on my Flex app? When I say "idle" I mean the user has not interacted with the application at all.

View 6 RepliesIn my flex app I have custom tooltips on buttons that hide and show based on user context. The problem that I dealing with is that when I call my showTips() function I only want to show tooltips on the buttons that visible in the view. So buttons that on a un-selected tab (tabNavigator) should not show the tooltips. For some reason all tooltips are showing. Is there a way to detect if a button is not in current view, like on a un-selected tab?

View 2 RepliesIs there a way to detect when the user accepts the Privacy Pop-up?
Basically, I'm using the microphone to record a voice message. I'd like to start a countdown timer that tells the user how much time they have to record their voice.
I start the countdown timer on the same event that I call nsPublish.attachAudio(microphone), and the countdown starts immediately, even though the user sees the privacy pop-up.
Much to my chagrin, my FLVPlayback video enters the 'pause' state rather than 'buffered' when the bandwidth forces the player to pause. Unfortunately, that's the same state as when a user presses the skin's pause button. Therefore, I can't detect whether the video is paused based on a user action versus a lack of downloaded video data.
That is, I can trigger an event based on either occurance, but I can't tell which caused the video to enter the paused state.
It sounds like others have had this problem as I've caught a couple discussions outside these forums describing how to code around this problem and, well, the descriptions are too sparce for me to code myself.
I am having a problem with correctly detecting a user's camera settings.
If the user has selected "allow" and "remember", then the camera.muted setting is false (not muted)
However, if the user has selected "deny" and "remember", then the camera.muted setting is true. (camera has been muted by the user)
BUT, if the user hasn't selected anything and the "remember" checkbox is unchecked, the camera.muted setting is ALSO TRUE (the camera is again muted, but it's only because someone hasn't "allowed" the camera yet)
Is there a way to differentiate between when a user has chosen to deny a camera forever for a particular site (by checking the "remember" check box) OR when they just haven't allowed the camera in the first place?
Is it possible, using Flash, to detect whether or not a user is using Cable, DSL, 56k, etc.?
View 1 RepliesI'm working on a project for a client, they want a simple drawing api which requests the user to draw a circle, or a shape on screen. The circle is then analyzed and a Score/Percentage of correction is returned. The drawing I have covered, how to assess the drawn circle against a perfect circle?
My first idea was to put invisible trigger points around the circumference of the shape and check for hit tests when the user is drawing. Another would be to track the dimensions of the left, right, top and bottom most bounding box and then find the radius, or something to that effect.

View 5 RepliesI am trying to have a local shared object in flash to detect whether a user is a new user or a returning user. If they are a new user I want to do newUser function and if they are a previous user I want to do a previousUser function. This should all be happening on an onEnterFrame.
Here is my code I have so far:
//shared object - cookie
newUser_test = SharedObject.getLocal("newUser");
newUser.text = newUser_test.data.title = "new user";
newUser.text.onEnterFrame = function () {
newUser.text = "new user";
} newUser.text.onEnterFrame = function(){
newUser.text = newUser_test.data.title = "previous user";
newUser_test.flush();
}
I have a Flash 10 program that locks up when running on a device, such as a netbook, that has a weak processor.Specifically, it goes into a state where it is doing very heavy processing within an ENTER_FRAME event handler following a mouse down event, and expects to stop doing this processing following a mouse up event. The problem is that, since there is no idle time left over following the frame event handlers, the mouse up event is never received, and consequently the process locks up in what amounts to an infinite loop. Yes I can do things like lower the frame rate and do what I can to reduce the processing taking place in each frame, but is there some iron clad way to break out of this? Is there some way to detect that no idle time exists? Or is there a way to force receipt of the interactive mouse events? Or could I, within the ENTER_FRAME code, detect the state of the mouse, up or down, without getting a mouse event?

I have an application in which when i click on a particular tab an HTTPService having id="service" is sent. This service calls a php file which in turn extracts data from a table and return as xml string to Flex. Flex then use DataGrid's dataprovider attribute to show the data in the dataGrid.Can i have a functionality of a timer which will call the HTTPService again and again after each 5 minutes?

View 2 RepliesI have an AIR application running on a Mac and I want to have the behavior of hiding the window when someone "closes" the app (e.g. hits the red "x" button or cmd-w). However, if someone hits cmd-q or chooses "Quit" from the dock context menu or top level menu, I want the app to actually close.I can preventDefault on the "closing" event sent by the application, however, this causes all "close" methods to just hide the window. The only way for someone to close the application at that point is ForceQuit (or through a separate interface I provide, like a context menu option on the dock icon).
I have also tried capturing the cmd-q keyDown event manually, but it doesn't get sent. Also, this wouldn'tor the case when people try to quit the app using the menu options.Furthermore, if I preventDefault on the closing method, it causes my application to cancel a shut down process immediately (which is a terrible user experience).Is there a way to detect different methods of closing an AIR application? I want to be able to tell the difference between these closing methods and react to the appropriately.
I want to load in a SWF and set it to fit in the window, whilst keeping it's aspect ratio.When I do this by setting the height and width of the SWFLoader, the SWF will resize to best fit in the space (as it is keeping it's aspect ratio).However I can't find a way to detect the height and width of that SWF now it has been resized. The size of the SWFLoader reflects what I set it to, and the SWFLoader.LoaderInfo size seems to be totally random.
I have also tried the loaderInfo.content, but again I don't get a value that compares to the size of the SWF I have loaded (or at lease the size of what is visible).The only thing I can think to do is to know the height and width before and then figure out the aspect ratio, so if I resize the width to 50% of the window, I can do the maths on the height to make the swf loader the same height as it's scaled content.

View 2 RepliesI'm curious of the best way to detect that an arraycollection contains duplicate objects as determined by an object's property value. For example, var _myArrayCollection:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection([{name: "name1", value: "value1"}, {name: "name2", value: "value2"}, {name: "name1", value: "value3"}]);Notice that this arraycollection has 3 items. 2 of the items have the same value for the name property. I would consider this a duplicate. Any ideas what the body of this method would look like? I have ideas but none of them feel very elegant.
