Flex: detecting user idle?

Question

How can I tell when a user has been idle for say 5 minutes on my Flex app?

When I say "idle" I mean the user has not interacted with the application at all.

Thanks!!

See also the idle event in SystemManager. This approach works for AIR or Flash Player.

application.systemManager.addEventListener(FlexEvent.IDLE, onIdle);

You can get the idle time (in an unsupported way) using

SystemManager.mx_internal::idleCounter
