Having issues with this AND maybe this isn't the precise location for this post. But anywhoooooo...:whistle:
I have an AS3 application that utilizes both Local Shared Object and/or server calls to save user preferences. So I want to be able to save when the user closes the browser window. I looked into the javaScript onbeforeunload event and that works great except I have to use an js alert to pause the closing mechanism.
What I would like to do is this:
user initiates a browser close
onbeforeunload calls a js function
js will see if a boolean is false, if so then calls swf function to save prefs, else will close browser
swf function onSuccess or onFail will talk back to another js function
js function2 will set boolean to true and call js function 1
js function1 will see that things are saved and closesAm I asking too much from js? too much from AS3? :stare:
