I never finished it but we were playing with a watch dog for FlexUnit so that the test runner sent a heartbeat message back to a monitoring instance (the java process that launched it) every (n) frames. Then we could configure the amount of time it was okay to go without the heartbeat. The difference being we would wait so long as Flash Player was still well enough to send its heartbeat. When it ceased, we would kill it. Mike
