Button To Close Window?
I have a button in a flash movie, that is supposed to close the window in which the movie resides.
This is the action I have in the button:
on (release) {
getURL ("javascript: window.close()");
}
This is what was automatically published in the html file:
<!-- URL's used in the movie-->
<A HREF=javascript: window.close()></A> <A HREF=http:mdev.outreach.psu.edu></A> <!-- text used in the movie-->
I have two questions...
1) the button works in ie5, do I need anything else for it to work in other browsers (is <script language="javascript">.....</script> needed somewhere?)
2) When I hit the button, a warning message comes up saying that the button will close the window, and prompting the user to click 'OK'. Is there a way to make it so this won't happen?
Thanks

Close.window Script In Flash Button Quits My Browser Window Or Crashes System
Can somebody please help me?
I have a javascript attached to a button in a .swf file to close the browser window it is in.
The code which was given to me yesterday by senocular is
on(press){
getURL("javascript:window.close()")
}

however if you try it IE will unexpectedly quit or bomb my computer.
I tried it in Netscape and it didn't crash.
You can refer to my site http://www.valdesdesign.com
after intro go to print button and then to editorial button.
Editorial opens new window with editorial.swf inside. Click on top right button to close window and see what happens.
Is there something I'm doing wrong? Please help me.

Hello there. I am playing about with my portfolio and i am stuck on a quit or exit button. I understand usually a quit button would not be needed in flash, but i have an option were my portfolio can be viewed as a full screen, but the user must have active X.

Close Window Button
Hey.
I have a pop-up window with a 'CLOSE' button on the page.
What I want is the window to close on the click of the button.
I have been able to get it to work... but on the click it gives me a message: Do you want to close this window / yes or no.
I was wondering if anyone can fix my code so that it will force close the browser window.
Here is the code I used on the button:
on (release) {
getURL ("javascript:self.close();");
}
Any suggestions would be of help.
Cheers Werglum

Button To Close Window
Hi,
I've seen web sites where a seperate window appears when a button is clicked...and in the new window a button (other than the browser button) enables you to close the window on itself. Anyone know what action in Flash is used to make a button close the window? Also trying to figure out how to make the window appear in a set size 500 pixels wide by 250 pixels high.
Thanks,
Scott

Close This Window Button
Seems to me way back in the 1950's when FLASH 4 was the rage, girls wore pony tails, and Elvis was crowned King of RocknRoll -- there was a button script which allowed the user to close an open swf in the player as one could close a pop up html with a java script 'close window' action. Is this possible? Or am I just dreaming?
If so refresh my memory of the action button script -- somebody please...

Close Button On Menu Window
I'm creating a system of flash menus and windows for a website. Basically there are 5 text links at the bottom and when each one is clicked, its own respective window opens up in the center of the page. This effect is animated, so when the button is clicked, the window "appears" from the text link and increases in size and opacity to fill the space. I want to create a button at the top right corner of each window similar to the X button on a window in Windows. Is there any way that when I click this button, it will take me to the end of the animation of the window appearing and simply play it backwards?
If that was unclear, let me see if i can simplify it:
1. Button clicked
2. Window scales up from the link and fills the page.
3. X button clicked
4. Window scales back down in the exact opposite way it appeared
I've found numerous examples of playing the timeline backwards, but all of them seem to only play in reverse starting from the frame it's on. I need both a "goto" command and a command to play in reverse.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Close Button In Window Not Working .
Flash Type:
Application using forms.
Flash Version:
Flash MX 2004 Professional.
Components Used:
Menu
Window
Alert
Combo Box
Label
Text Field
Radio Button
Check Box
Problem Area:
A Window Launched by the menu has a close button. The close button's Listener doesn't work.
Code Explanation with problem:
The Menu is created during run time.
The listener function in menu when clicked, calls a user defined function launchWindow();
The launchWindow(); creates the Window with content path frmCalculator and has the close button .
After calling the launchWindow(); the Window with frmCalculator is loaded.
But when the close button is clicked the myWindow.addEventListener("click" , windowListener); is not working, and hence the
windowListener.click = function() is not called at all.
But if the launchWindow(); is called directly during loading the close button event works.
I have attached the source code. Please help me.

Close Pop-up Window With A Flash Button
does anyone know if you can close a pop-up window by clicking a button that's inside the flash swf?
there's tons of tutorials online regarding how to create pop up windows in flash but nothing on how the user can close the whole window.
besides clicking the "x" on the browser window, is there any other way?
one thousand thank you's to the one that can answer.

Is There A Way To Close The Window/browser With A Button?
I'm creating a CD for my work that will play a flash movie when the user puts it in using the .exe export.
Question is, is it possible to make it so when the user presses a button to QUIT the program, I could have Flash close the window it's in?
I figure it'd probably be the same command for having Flash close its parent browser window, but I haven't met anything like that yet.
Thanks.
