Create alert before browser window is closed

[Shaedo]

I have flash as a gui to edit some docs. I'd like to caution the user to save before they close the window (or navigate away from it).

I know this can be done in AIR,

but can it be done with a .swf ?

I think this was asked awhile back in this forum but I cant seem to locate it.
All advice welcome!!

Thank you for your consideration,

S.
