This doesn’t work if the browser is minimized

For more then one minutes it’s not firing the idel event properly, why so?

I believe this could be the fact that Flash Player will now throttle when placed in an inactive tab within the browser. I would assume minimizing the browser would have a similar effect.

Hi Joseph
I am newbie with Flex. I followed your example on Flex.IDEL and it worked for me. Thanks a lot. But in QA I am having some weird things.
1. When browser window is minimized, this event doesn’t trigger.
2. When some flash contents are running in same or different browser, this event sometime fires and sometimes not.

Can you help me out in figuring out why this is happening and how I can fix it.

Thanks in Advance.
Regards,

Actually I was wrong. An idle event of course goes on and detects movement in other tabs, so I had to play around with activate and deactivate events to start/stop an idle event.

Not sure. Probably not as with FP10.1 there are resource management behaviors such as this built into the FP/Browser relationship.

What happens, when a user changes a tab in his web browser? I have noticed that an idle event stops until the tab is changed back to the app. Is there a way to change this behavior?
