Hello I am doing some server communication in AS3 / PHP / MySQL and I was wondering if there was a way to change a variable just before the user closes Flash?

Example: User closes browser or tab and Flash updates a variable before it closes the player.

I would like to be able to send the message to the server so that it knows that the user quit as it happens.

Thanks.
