[Red5] appDisconnect does not get triggered

Thu Jul 24 05:19:46 PDT 2008

IE doesn't close the connection to Red5. If you'd close ALL IE windows you'll notice the appDisconnect event getting triggered right away.

Temporary solution until MS fixes their browser:

Listen in the browser on the [onbeforeunload] event:

.......
<script>
    function closeConnection() {
        my_movie.shutdown_please();
    }
</script>

<body onbeforeunload="closeConnection">
.......

Where [my_movie] is the name of your flashmovie (object) and [shutdown_please] is the function you exposed in Flash to Javascript.

Check Flash help about 'ExternalInterface' and other examples in the archives in this list for more info.

  Hi,

  I am using IE7 to connect to Red5.  When the browser is closed, the appDisconnect() is not triggered.  
  Does anyone know why?  

  Thanks,
  Mark
