Javascript :: To Execute Flex Cleanup Function When Browser Is Closed By User?
Oct 29, 2009
I 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;
[code].....

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?

I am currently using ExternalInterface to call JS functions from Flex. Is it possible to do the same the other way around: have Flex execute a function when a certain trigger is executed in JS? I want to have a Flash app with buttons in HTML that when pressed call functions inside the Flex app.

I have an input text box with the instance name of input_txt and a dynamic text field named output_txt. I'm trying to do something with the dynamic field when the user has entered text into the input field. So far, this is what I have:
input_txt.addEventListener(TextEvent.TEXT_INPUT, update);
function update(event:TextEvent):void {
output_txt.text = "foobar";
}
I don't know if this is valid ActionScript 3.0. I am getting an error that says "the class 'TextEvent' could not be loaded."

Generally when you unload an swf from another swf you would follow a cleanup utilzing removed from stage or unload events. But when you exit an as3 flash application by either navigating away from page or reloading the page or closing/removing the application. what is the best practices you would follow to ensure proper cleanup and garbage collection.
Question : what methods in solely as3 code can be used in this regard. It may be argued that once an swf is unloaded or removed its memory foot print can be verified to have decreased eg via the task manager Is this a good enough measure? Or is it advisable to handle the unloading/exiting in a proper manner ?

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:
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="" creationComplete="init()" remove="clearHistroy()">
But it didn't work.

I came across a website recently that outputs a whole bunch of user info: IP, browser, OS, flash version, javascript, etc in a very easy to use format. It was specifically designed for remote support, in order to determine user operating environment. However, I cant recall the name of the website.

So I'm building a web application, and in part of the application the user should choose an XviD (.avi) video file from his machine, to be played in the browser (without uploading it). I decided to use Flash for this.
Now I have two questions about this:
Which Flash video player is free to use and capable of doing this? How should I let the user choose a video file, and how can I link the Flash video player to the file?

[URL] I needed to do clean up before the MC is gone ... so after some digging I found this event:
Event.REMOVED_FROM_STAGE
So I am trying to ask for some conformation here: Is this the ONLY situation that my MC will be deleted automatically by Flash? If so then I can just listen to this even and call my cleanup function when it happens...

I've been working on something of late that will display text the first time the user views it, and the second time, say something different. I've accomplished this using haredObjects. However, it seems that the information (the shared object) isn't removed when the user leaves of closes the browser. I there a workaround for this?

I want to add scripting functionality to my Adobe Flex application. I know it's possible to use the Browser control, and add the script packaged as a HTML file to the Browser control, and expose Flex objects. However I'd like to if it is possible to execute JavaScript without using the Browser control.UPDATE: I guess my question hasn't been clear enough. I'll explain what I'm trying to do.I want to make my application customizable using JavaScript ie., add scripting/plugins to my application dynamically.I realize that it's possible to dynamically execute Javascript by inserting the JS code into the HTMLLoader control. I would like to know there is a direct way to execute JavaScript without inserting it into the HTMLLoader control.

This result is then echoed to a Flash SWF during embedding with SWFObject. I now want to call this PHP page that makes the query from a javascript function like so - one change I have made to the PHP is that instead of storing the result in a variable $my_result I am echoing the result. Javascript function to call the PHP page and make the database query

I'm authoring in Flash CS4 using Motion Tweens.
Here is the situation. I have a JavaScript that closes the DIV containing my flash object. It currently closes after 15 seconds. That is supposed to be how long the Flash movie lasts. however, slower machines run the movie longer. this means the flash object closes too quickly and they don't see the entire movie. . . if I increase the time, the users of fast machines have to wait around awhile for the movie to disappear.
So, I would like the movie to execute the javaScript when it gets to the last frame.

My page uses both flash and javascript. Currently, I have a video player which makes use of commands like "videoP.sendEvent('PLAY');". I'm building a new, custom player and have never used the sendEvent() method.I've always used "setVariable" with a listener.
I'd like to NOT alter the code in my html page and make use of it's sendEvent() functionality. So, I guess my question is ... how do I RECEIVE the event? The player is already targeted properly within my html. I just need to tell my flash doc to execute the information it receives.
