A word of caution Anuj.
I don't know if your timer works once a second or once a minute, or once every
two minutes. If you have only one online user, it's not too huge a deal either
way. If you have a hundred users you can cause big problems for your server.
The timer technique just makes the best of a bad job. Usually a lot of care is
taken over database and query design to minimise the impact of large numbers of
users. Unfortunately the timer technique gives the server a lot of work even
when the number of users is quite small.
Remember a timer on the client just affects one user and there's usually
processor power to spare. A timer in conjunction with a server database access
stresses the server. It stresses the server a lot.
End of cautionary note.

I meant, "search through the online adobe docs for 'timer polling
example' or other keywords like those."
there are many many examples in the online docs at Adobe.
