Subject: [Xerte] Re: Desktop AS2 version - shutdown cleanup

Index.html loads my RLO, and my RLO loads a SWF menu file. If the user clicks the “X” to close down index.html I’d like to call a function in the SWF file (loaded by the RLO) to write a cookie. The code below (in IE at least) shows a popup alert message when the user clicks on the ‘X’ in the upper right corner to shut down the window. Anyone know if I can  / what syntax I’d use to call a function in the SWF file? RonM2  function DetectBrowserExit(){alert('Execute task which do you want before exit');   // HOW CAN I CALL A FLASH FUNCTION FROM HERE??} window.onbeforeunload = function(){ DetectBrowserExit(); } From: xerte-bounces at lists.nottingham.ac.uk [mailto:xerte-bounces at lists.nottingham.ac.uk] On Behalf Of Julian Tenney

Subject: [Xerte] Re: Desktop AS2 version - shutdown cleanup I have one app I’d like to finish in the xerte desktop version. It uses a Flash swf menu which works with cookies. Does anyone know what happens if the user clicks the X in the upper right corner and closes the window – is there a way to intercept that event and do some ‘cleanup’ – like writing the cookie to the hard drive for reading in on next opening?
