Not sure what you mean? And this post is probably a little out of date at this point :)

Why not just do this:

public function userIdle(event:FlexEvent):void{
// userIdle fires every 100ms

if (event.currentTarget.mx_internal::idleCounter == 600){
// after 60 seconds of idle time we do something
// the idleCounter only resets after the user has
// been active again...so this area only runs
// once for each idle time that extends for a minute and resets itself
}

}

Great, good news. That's what I expected.

Actually bad question - I was wrong. The idle event goes on and detects movement in other tabs. I had to play around with activate and deactivate events.

What if somone will change his browser's tab? I have noticed that an idle event doesn't work in a situation like this.
