inactivity logout

[fastlife]

I have a Flex application that I would like it to logout (essentially call a
function) when there is no activity for a given time. (No mouse movement or key
strokes). Is there a built in fx for this, if not any ideas. Thx

There is nothing built in but I have done this and it is not hard.

I will work on a full example in a bit.

Tracy, thank you your code worked perfect. I have added keyDown to reset activity so I can track maouse and key strokes.

Thx again,

Post how you added the keydown and I'll add it to the example

I just added keyUp="resetLastActivity()" to the application. (keyDown was not
as reliable?)
And as long as there is a focus of text to be entered (like a textinput field)
keyUp reset the clock.
It is not elegant but for my application is sufficient.
I understand that there is a onKeyUp and Key.addListener fx's that may be
better suited and I will experiment later.

Thx again,

Here is my humble solution for adding key strokes to reset timer. I have not
made any changs to your code but added the onKeyUp with Key .addListener. If
you find a bug in this thinking let me know.
Thx.
