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?

Grab the systemManager from the Application for example and just add an event listener for FlexEvent.IDLE and away you go.

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.";

}
