Title: Pass a Flash variable to the browser's Javascript
Okay this is a very specific issue I'm trying to tackle. Basically I've got a Flash login area where a member will enter, and an ASP script will trigger to record this user in the database, temporarily. This is to restrict users to a set number of logins on one account.
So that works well, what I need to do now is invoke an UNLOCK script that releases the user from the database after the browser is closed. I imagine some javascript would accomplish this, easy.
HOWEVER.. I need to pass a value via GET to the script. And this value is only accessible in Flash.
Question: Is it possible to pass this value from inside Flash to the javascript in the browser?
Thanks for any help!!

As soon as you press the close button of browser the page is destroyed and no JavaScript code can execute. Regarding the browser request , closing browser cancels any request made and hence is of no use.
You can only provide such functionality if you provide a logoff button in your page . Which logs off the user after sending request to database.

There is actually an unload listener in JS that triggers when the user exits the browser. Anyone know if Flash can share a variable with the browser?

Accepted Answer
yes there is a unload listener, but I don't think that gives enough time to make a url request. You can always pass data and communicate between flash and JavaScript using external interface class in flash.
