[Xerte] Re: Desktop AS2 version - shutdown cleanup

[KnowledgeWare]

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?

function DetectBrowserExit()

{

alert('Execute task which do you want before exit');   // HOW CAN I CALL A
FLASH FUNCTION FROM HERE??

}

window.onbeforeunload = function(){ DetectBrowserExit(); }

I don't think you can trap that event in Flash without some jiggery pokery:
you'd have to intercept in in javascript in the browser and then try and do
what you need to (I think)

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?
