So I’m building a B2B dashboard in Flex, and thought I’d write up a quick post on a problem I didn’t see many online solutions for – well, there are solutions, but they all reference weaksauce flex 2, so I thought I’d go all new and shiny and post this working flex 4 example.
The problem is simple: How do I detect an Idle user, turn off all timed network requests, and — eventually — log off users silly enough to walk away from my interface?

Example: situation this code is meant to save my application from.
