Close Window

[CraigLF]

How do I close a browser window from my flash file? I've tried the following actionscript on my exit button, but it's not working:

on (release) {
getURL("javascript:window.close();");
}

Am I supposed to add something to the html file, too? And if so, what?

[Ask The Geezer]

on (release) {
getURL("javascript:self.close();");
}

And of course, never test this from test movie. A lot of java scripts can lock it up, so only test from the generated html page the movie is in.

That's not working either. And I AM testing it in a browser window.

Okay, it's working in IE, but is there a way to get it to work in Firefox?

Also, is there a way to fix it so that the dialogue box asking you if you want to close the window doesn't show up?

[Ask The Geezer]

Works fine for me, I can even send the command with LocalConnection and it will work.

No, you get the dialog box if it's the only window open. Use this for popups. Why would you want to close the only open window anyway? Most people won't want to.

Firefox has it's own way of doing things. I don't use it, so I don't know.
