Close Browser Window
I have created a flash site when you click on a pop up window its centered in the middle of the screen. I can't seem to figure out how to close the window when I click in the browser window. You can see the draft of the site at Spirit Beanies click on Samples then Styles choose anyone of the caps. They all appear in the center of the screen. So I want people to have the ability to click on a cap & it closes the previous cap opened or just close the browser without clicking on the X in the upper right hand corner of the browser window.

Thanks in advance for the help.

How Do You Close A Swf Browser Window
In my movie I have a button that when clicked, another browser window is launched. I've figured out how to stop the sounds and movie from playing once the other window has opened, but I'd like to close the swf window somehow, even though it's covered up behind the new browser window that opens infront of it.

Thanks!

Close Browser Window
Hi!

Urm... got another problem again ^_^ I'm trying to close a browser window from Flash. I've tried using "javascript:window.close()", but it doesn't seem to work.

Also, since the Flash movie is in one of the frames, and what I want to close is the whole framepage, would the above code still apply? If not, what is the way to go about this?

Thanks, and sorry for keep asking about javascript =P

Regards,
Russ

Detect Browser Close
Hi,

Is there any way to get a flash movie to detect wether or not the browser window containing it is still open? I've been searching for a couple of hours now and can't find a darn thing.

Will onUnload do this?! I have a feeling I'm way off on this one.

How To Close Browser's Window (other Than IE)
Hello everyone !

Well, I used this code on my button and it works perfect in Internet Explorer... however, it doesn't do any good in Firefox and some other browsers (Netscape/Mozilla engine browsers).


Code:
on (release) {
getURL("javascript: window.opener=self; window.close();");
}
Is there anything else that can help ? What I'm trying to do is just simply have a button "trash this page" on the stage, and when pressed it should just completely close the browser's window... not pop up window, but main window where my main SWF plays.

Thanks in advance !
Regards !

[F8] Can I Close A Browser From Flash?
Hey,

I was wondering. Is there a command that allows you to close a browser window? I have a small 200 x 200 window that pops up over my site. I'd like to put a button on the flash file to close the browser. Basically a dummy switch for any user who doesn’t understand it’s a pop up. Is this possible?

Thanks,

Loader Does Not Close In Browser...?
Hey...
So I'm doing a flipbook type thing that has to load a lot of images quickly, starting with whatever page the user jumps to and working outward left and right.
If a user flips way ahead in the book, I need to close() any Loaders that are currently running in order to speed up the load of the new page the user's looking at, otherwise these loads pile up very quickly and the whole thing slows way down. (Loaders that have already finished are simply stored in a master array and removed / added to the display chain as needed).

The images that were stopped mid-load are reloaded from scratch if the user flips back; this is forced by adding a random string to the image request.

When testing my SWF from the IDE against images on a remote server, over a slow connection, this works great. The images away from where the user is looking always stop loading, 100% of the time, and the image the user is paged to starts loading up right away.

However, doing it in a browser -- especially Firefox 2.0 -- is another story. For some weird reason, firebug reports that occasionally, sporadically, some of the Loaders that have been closed and unloaded are still trying to load. It's about 20% of the time.

My loader destruction code looks like this:

Code:
try {
close();
} catch (err:Error) {
//
}
if (content) {
content["bitmapData"].dispose();
}
unload();
Prior to this, it's already been removed from the display chain and all event listeners have been killed; what's more, memory checks show the image is being garbage collected. And yet... firefox does not stop the request (not sure about IE, but I suspect something similar).

I'm wondering if anybody's run into this before and what the workaround might be. Maybe some fancy external javascript that could kill the call?

Thanks,
Josh

On Close Open A Browser.
I'd like to open a web page when the html page my SWF file is running out of is closed (to take a survey when the flash program is quit). Would you know how to do that? I could do with a popup browser, but preferably having the URL open up within the falsh program would avoid the issues around popup blocking.

Close Browser Button
This should be a pretty easy task but I can't seem to get it to work. As I said in the subject, I am trying to create the function of closing the browser window that the flash file resides in.

OK-

I have this code on my close button in flash:

on (press) {getURL("javascript:closeme();");

}

Here is the code I also added to the html page:

<script language="JavaScript"></script>[ !-- //
function closeme() {
window.close();
}
//--></script>

However, it doesn't work . Any suggestions??

Thanks,
Dave

How To Close A Browser Window
Hello,

I'm trying to figure out what I'm missing! I've added a close button to a Flash Player 8 file that is running in a browser window. When the user clicks the close button I want the browser window to close. The code on my button that I've tried is:

getURL("javascript:window.close();");
and
getURL("javascript:window.open('','_parent','');window.close();");
and
getURL("javascript:window.opener=self; window.close()");

None of these will close either a Safari or a Firefox window, but it works in IE. Am I missing something?

Thanks,


Julia

Close Browser Window
Being honest, I'm rather new to ActionScript, but I've created a slide show of movie clips that is contained in a separate browser from the parent sight. At any point during the slide show, I would like the ability to close the browser window by clicking on the movie clip being shown. My attempt at this (with AS) is as follows:

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

OR

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

When I test, all I get in OUTPUT are a bunch of errors, and when I import the flash into an actual html file and test, nothing. Would someone please explain what I'm missing? Any help is appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Close Browser Window
I utilized the special effect Launch a Centered Pop-Up Window for Flash MX. I want to go one step further that if there is a button in the pop-up window when you click on the button it closes the browser window or if another pop-up window is launched the previous windows closes.

Spirit beanies click on Samples then Styles choose any cap & you will see the Centered Pop-Up Window. Then if you click on the cap it doesn't close. Can't seem to find the right code to do that piece of it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Close Button .exe Vs Browser
Hey.
what is the solution to that problem of a browser window poping up when you have a close button which is set to close both .exes and web browsers? I have a demo which needs to go web or Cd from the same file. So I put in the standard

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


so it will close in either case. However, of course, there is a problem with the .exe. The demo closes, then the getUrl runs so as the demo closes it also launces a browser window which it closes. How do I stop it running the getURL after the fscommand("quit"). I know there must be a basic solution to this..... I just can't find it on the forms

Thanks!
