closing window from the Flash

[Ambrrose]

How can I close the browser's window from the Flash movie?

thanks

You can close the browsers window that holds the flash movie simply by - on your button event in flash (or on the timeline) apply this action.

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

You do not need to have a <script> tag in your html file, that line of javascript works by itself because it is a predefined event handler in javascript. If you wanted to close the window from a certain point based off of the timeline rather than a button, you would just obviously not need the on(release) event.

agree

I had tried this script, on my flash movie (in a browser window) and wanted to close the window itself, I failed to get the browser window to close. Why is it so?

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

it doesn't work for me either.

Try window.close()
or write a script.js file, linked to in your html file which contains the
function close_window(){
window.close();
}
In Flash call getURL('close_window());
