Classpublic final class Inactivity
InheritanceInactivity Inheritance flash.events.EventDispatcher

The Inactivity class can be used to watch for inactivity within the scope of a DisplayObject.

Continuous events are not dispatched, they only dispatch when the state changes. So if the user goes from active to inactive, the inactive event will be dispatched. As soon as they go active again, the active event is dispatched.


Example
Using the inactivity class: 
 
  var inact:Inactivity=new Inactivity(myMovieClip, 2000);
  inact.addEventListener(Inactivity.ACTIVE, whenActiveAgain);
  inact.addEventListener(Inactivity.INACTIVE, whenGoInactive); 
  inact.start();
