Re: [flexcoders]Is there an event that the application dispatches when a flash swf has not been interacted with for a certain amount of time?

[Bjorn Schultheiss]

I don't think there is a predefined event for this.
If i were to do it, in the application scope i would set handlers for  
mouseDown, mouseMove and keyDown to monitor activity time periods  
with each interaction resetting a Timer object.

For example, I have a site that a user has to log into. After they  
login if they have not interacted at all with the application is  
there a event that is dispatched that I can listen for so I can log  
the user out?

If not can I suggest something like this:

<Application inactivityTimeout="10" >

Application.addEventListener(Application.INACTIVITY,  
"myLogOutFunction");

public function myLogoutFunction(event:Event):void {
    // logoutService.send();
    // applicationState.selectedChild = loginState;
    // loginMessage.text = "You haven't done anything for 10  
minutes. Get back to work.";
}
