Hi. I'm not certain why HTMLLoader's event isn't firing, but you could track if the app is or is not being interacted with via NativeApplication, like this:
private const IDLE_TIME:uint = 120; // set us up the user idle detection NativeApplication.nativeApplication.idleThreshold = IDLE_TIME; NativeApplication.nativeApplication.addEventListener(Event.USER_IDLE, userIdleHandler); You can also track an event for when the user begins interacting with the app after it has been left idle: NativeApplication.nativeApplication.addEventListener(Event.USER_PRESENT, userPresentHandler); I used this on a touch screen kiosk app that we use at Delvinia in place of a receptionist. I hope that helps. :) -[a]- -----Original Message----- From: flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com [mailto:flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com] On Behalf Of David Hunter Sent: September-03-10 7:56 AM To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: [Flashcoders] AIR HTMLLoader mouse events not working hi all, I'm making a touchscreen kiosk application. its all done except for a timer that returns to a start screen when it is inactive for more than a couple minutes. I'm monitoring activity using MOUSE_MOVE event. that works fine except when using an instance of HTMLLoader where it doesn't seem to pick up mouse moves or even mouse downs or clicks. I have set the useCapture parameter to 'true' and that has solved the problem on my Mac laptop, but the problem still persists when the app is installed on the kiosk machine with touchscreen. Not sure if this is to do with the OS or the touchscreen or something else? Any help greatly appreciated, David _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
