Back I just spent the better part of the day trying to figure out how to send one last message to my DB when the user exits. For some reason I'm getting mixed results.
Here's the close() code as supplied by most components in FCS authored by MM:
// ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: FCPeopleListClass.prototype.close = function() { var fullName = "FCPeopleList."+this.name; // Let our server side counterpart know that we are going away _root.exitROOM(); this.nc.call(this.prefix+"close", null); // this.so.owner = null; delete this.so.owner; delete this.so.onSync; this.so.close(); this.so = null; // this.nc.FCPeopleList[this.name] = null; this.nc = null; }; // :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
... I added _root.exitROOM(); which is simply the following which DOES NOT WORK:
// ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: function exitROOM() { var sql = new LoadVars(); sql.load("flashindex.php?op=exit&room="+this.appInstance, "", "POST"); } // :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
... curiously enough, this does work (but it gets run when I ENTER the room which I can't figure out why entering the room triggers close()):
// ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: function exitROOM() { getURL("flashindex.php?op=exit&room="+this.appInstance); } // :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
... but I DON'T want to load this page. Anyone know why it won't work properly? Better yet, is there a more foolproof way to determine the browser page containing the flash file has been closed and to load flashindex.php one last time?
Sincerely, Simon
