Question

No disconnect on refresh (IE9).

Hi,

When a user refreshes the page in IE9, the disconnect handler isn't called. So in an application like a fms lobby, a user seems to stay in the list when he actually isn't there anymore. Does anyone know a solution?

Thanks,

Thomas

    Hello, this behaviour is inherent to virtual machines: sometimes it takes up to 3 minutes for the connect/disconnect update to take place. e.g. influxis does that :(. Other than that, your might be doing something different as expected.

    I found a solution for people who leave or refresh the page. With javascript and externalinterface you can call Flash before the unload and so you can close the connection:

    window.onbeforeunload = confirmExit;
              
    function confirmExit()
    {
         sendToFlash("leavepage");
    }
    function sendToFlash(str) 
{  
     getFlashMovie("yourflashmoviename in the embed tag").sendToFlash(str);     
}
    function getFlashMovie(movieName) 
{   
     if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft") != -1)
         {
             return window[movieName];
     } 
     else 
     {
         return document[movieName];
     }
}

    In Flash:

    function getFromJavaScript(str)
    {
         if(str == "leavepage")
         {
              nc.close();
         }
    }
    ExternalInterface.addCallback("sendToFlash", getFromJavaScript);
