Auto Reloading a Flex Application

I have a flex application which runs on a touch screen and I want to have the application reset itself when no one is using it.

To get this done I created a Timer that would reload my Flex app every 5 minutes and an event listener which would reset the timer everytime someone touched the screen (or clicked the app).

Example below.

AppTimer.as ActionScript Class File

package{  import flash.events.Event;  import flash.events.TimerEvent;  import flash.utils.Timer;  import flash.net.URLRequest;  import flash.net.navigateToURL;

  public class AppTimer  {   // Create Time Object to fire every minute for 5 minutes   public var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(60000,5);

      public function AppTimer()      {          // designates listeners for the completion event          myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, onTimerComplete);

          // starts the timer ticking          myTimer.start();      }

      // Function restarts the timer.      public function resetTimer():void      {       myTimer.reset();       myTimer.start();      }

      // Function gets called when timer runs out. Reloads the page      public function onTimerComplete(evt:Event):void      {    var ref:URLRequest = new URLRequest("javascript:location.reload(true)");    navigateToURL(ref, "_self");       }

  }}

Main.MXML File

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" xmlns="*" creationComplete="initApp()">  <mx:Script>  <![CDATA[

  // Creates the AppTimer Object  public var myTimer:AppTimer = new AppTimer();

  // Function to run when app is created  private function initApp():void  {   // Add Event listner to track mouse clicks   application.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, globalClickEvent);       }

  // Everytime a user clicks in the applicatoin run this function.  private function globalClickEvent(event:MouseEvent):void  {   myTimer.resetTimer(); // Call timer reset function  }

  ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:Panel width="100%" height="100%" title="My App with Timer"/></mx:Application>

If anyone knows a better way to accomplish the same task I would be interested to hear about it.
