Another idea... How about setting up a timer in Flex to poll the server. If the server does not receive the poll in a certain amount of time then the client has disconnected and you can write the data to the database.
It may work even better with BlazeDS (I don't know this - I'm kinda hoping it works). Hopefully you can tell if a client disconnects from something they have subscribed to via RTMP.
