One of the thing that is very handy useful is make a Flex Application expire in a certain period of time after 30 days or a specify counter for access and application.

Today I was reading at Flex-Brasil mail-list where a user request a kind of situation, how to limit for a certain time of period an execution of Flex application.

Than after that he gives to me idea to develop kind of component with no existing before in the Flex community.

It’s pretty simple enough the component and works like a charm, you define how much of time this application will be used, than choose your own message to alert the user the application request already take too much time to be executed.

Download and Installation.
First download the .swc . Then put inside the lib folder of your Flex Builder 3.

How to usage?

1

<custom:Expire PrintText="Application Expired!"/>

Available properties:

TimeToUse:int – represents the quantity of views that SWF will works.

ContactInfoForSupport:String – represents the contact information after the expiration shows up.

PrintText:String – The message you want to display to the user.

Requirements

I’ve tested only in Flex 3 beta 3. Don’t know if is compatible with Flex 2 or earlier versions.
