Using Timer plug-in to wake up the running FL+KL application

[jantsuh]

Can the Timer plug-in used to wake up my main SWF application when device is put into sleep?

The sample scenario is that user runs our application which records the ongoing route using KL's GPS plug-in. However, the route recording stops when device is put into sleep because Flash freezes during the device sleep. Now we would like to use timer plug-in to wake up the device e.g. every 5 minutes to record the current GPS position. After the position is created, device may go again to sleep mode for next 5 minutes and so on.

Timer plug-in seems to be an obvious solution for that. However, it also seems that one parameter of Timer plug-in is a path to SWF file. If I define my main SWF here, does the timer re-start my application? This is not what I need. The only thing timer should do for me is to wake up the device and put my running Flash application on foreground. Is this possible? What should I define in Timer's klPath variable or can it be empty?

Thank you for your help!

Hi, this can be done, but you have to use external SWF file instead of main SWF, because it is already reserved.
