Flash :: Closing A Window When Flash Movie Ends

Detect When Flash File Ends By Closing Browser Window
Okay, this one was hard to explain in the title.

What I want to do is know when a user hits another web address or closes the browser window so that I can write out the session ended information to a database. Is this possible? I write to the database when the swf file is started, and can write to it if I hit an end button within the swf file, but my concern is - what if someone doesn't hit the end button and just closes the browser. Can that be captured from flash or some other script?

Thanks for any help.

Close Window After Flash Movie Ends..how Do I Do This?
I am working in Flash MX....I have a flash presentation that I have prepared. The flash SWF file is a pop up that automatically pops open when the homepage opens. After the flash goes through once, I have stopped the movie so it does not loop.

What I want to happen next is to have that window close so that the homepage is showing. I do not want the user to have to close the window themselves. Can someone please help me out and tell me how to do this??

Thanks!

2 Small Questions.. Action To Close Window When Movie Ends? And..
Hi.. for my flash intro, I want it to close automatically when it finishes. I looked for the action to do that but couldn't find it..

and the 2nd questions was that I have url's in the flash and when I click on them, it goes in the current browser, how do I make it go into another window, if possibly not having to make the words buttons, and keeping them text.

Thanks
Greg

Closing Window After A Movie
Hello all gurus. I am new to Actionscripting and was wondering if there is an action to close the window a Flash movie is playing in once it has run its course? Rather than looping it incessantly or having it stop and stare at the viewer. I would just like it to disappear. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Reeses

Unloading A Movie / Closing Window
hi,

i have a simple structure: a few buttons, each of them loads a different movie which is basically a box with some content and a close button.

all the movies have a little transition and use the midFrame script.

is there a way to get the close button to play the out transition and then unload the movie?

if i just do the transition and stop (with the movie being invisible), the other buttons will only load this one movie that the first button i pressed loads.

so... how can i close the current movie withough messing up the others?

thanks!

Closing A Pop Window In Flash - Yes I Know, I Know...
Hey there,
Before anyone freaks out, yes I have searched and read up on this for hours now and I can't seem to be get it right...

Simple..close a pop up window from flash.

The code that opens the pop up has this code: (from kirupa)
on (release) {
//customize the window that gets opened
// 0 equals NO.
// 1 equals YES.
address = "http://www.blagh.com/pop-up.htm";
target_winName = "music";
width = 250;
height = 90;
toolbar = 0;
location = 0;
directories = 0;
status = 0;
menubar = 0;
scrollbars = 0;
resizable = 0;
//sends data back to the function
openWinCentre(address, target_winName, width, height, toolbar, location, directories, status, menubar, scrollbars, resizable);
}

and the button to close the pop up is this:

on (release) {
getURL("javascript:window.close('/pop-up.htm');");

However, this closes the parent window and leaves the pop up open...

Have tried this in various ways but nothing seems to work??

any help VERY much appreciated...

cheers

Closing Window Within Flash MX
I just wanna know if it's possible and how :Let's say I have this Flash movie and I have some code with fscommand with makes the movie fullscreen as soon as you open it. I have a button that pops up the actual site; Should I pop open the swf from my server or the html doc? When I open up the html file from MY DOCUMENTS on my computer, it stays plain html, when I open up the swf, it opens up in fullscreen.
Anyways, after being in fullscreen mode, how can I make it so that if a button I made in Flash is pressed, it closes the screen. This way people won't have to press the Esc Button.

I am trying to find out how to do this because I'm making something for a friend.

- Thanks.

Opening & Closing Window Boxes Within Flash
Hi all

Im not too sure my Subject title really explained what I need to do but im gonna give it a go and hope that someone just pops by and has a look.

I have a flash movie of a car with some round circle buttons on some parts of the car that when clicked shows particular parts of the car in close-up.

Before I just used a roll over button and made a box appear when I the mouse rolled over but the of course it just disappeared when people came off the button.

What I would like now is that when the button it rolled over small box comes up within the movie and juststays there until you click the cross at the side of the box and then it just disappears and everything is teh same underneath. Kinda like a browser window but not if you get me.

Im not sure how to do this but it would be great to know how.

I hope you guys can help me, im learning all the tme with this.

can anyone help?

Detect When Movie Clip Ends. Flash MX
Hey,

I have an object that I have set to spin and deaccelerate when the movie loads. What I want to do is carry on from there. The object is made to spin using action scrip, not a tween.
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (rotDest>0) {
this._rotation += (rotDest)*.16;
rotDest--;
}
}

Im after a way to detect when the object has come to rest and then load the next scene. Is this possible? Its either that or I have to wait 206 frames for the animation to stop and then put in my gotoandplay statement. Im sure this method is classed as 'scruffy'!

Thanks in advance

Closing Window - Javascript:window.close();
Hello all

I'm trying to use the getURL("javascript:window.close()"); code on a button to close my HTML window. But after I publish the file if I click on the button nothing happens.

Does anyone have any idea what is going wrong? Do I need to add another file to the folder where my SWF file sits? Or is there an Internet Explorer setting or something that is disabiling this?

Thanks

Closing Movie Within Target (Flash 5)
Hi
I am working on having links that are movies that load within a targeted empty movie clip on my main stage, is there a way that I can have a button to close the particular movies so that my original stage with its background will show when the viewer is done looking at the links on my site?

I guess what I am trying to say is that each link is a load movie in an empty MC on my original stage, and I want to be able to close each linked movie if I want. Does this all make sense?
