Flash Lite 4 Suspend Event?

[rpurushotma]

Anyone know how in Flash Lite 4 to react to people pushing the hardware button?

I have a game that has background music which keeps playing (and the game keeps running) when users try to suspend the application (Am I correct that in FL3 it automatically suspends applications when a user returns to the phone menu, but in FL4 the application keeps playing). I've tried listening for the following events, but none of them fire:

stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, onResize);
stage.addEventListener(Event.ACTIVATE, onActivated);
stage.addEventListener(Event.DEACTIVATE, onDeactivated);
stage.addEventListener(FullScreenEvent.FULL_SCREEN, onFullScreen);
stage.addEventListener(FocusEvent.FOCUS_IN, onFocusIn);
stage.addEventListener(FocusEvent.FOCUS_OUT, onFocusOut);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, onMouseOut);

I even tried continually polling to check if there was a property like stage.visible that might change, but couldn't find anything that's different when the user is not in the application.

Hi rpurushotma,
Are you tested it in a real device? because for me even in Nokia N8 (Flash Lite 4) the behaviour is same as of Flash Lite 3 i.e the player get paused once go to background. Also test that what happens if your content is embedded into a WRT .wgz.

Hi Sajid --

Thanks so much for your help with this! I have been testing it on a physical N8, I put a video of the issue at http://swirlystudios.com/fs_suspend.mpg

I so far have been using SWF2Go instead of doing a WRT embed. I guess that will be the next step. (Or is there anyone here that has a program with an active thread running got it to suspend correctly on hardware suspend in SWF2Go with AS3?) From what I understand for people using AS2 with SWF2Go it works fine, so it would be nice to know if that's really the problem before moving to WRT.

Alternatively, I don't really care about this issue, but does anyone know of a workaround that would get it through Q.A. ?

thanks,
Ravi
