Closing Browser Window

Closing Browser Window
I have a pretty easy question i hope.

I'm trying to make a simple flash application that will open and close the browser window.

To open a URL is easy like

getURL ("http://www.ect");

but how do I close it, say in frame 30?


basically what this application will do is constantly open and close the same URL..that's it


any thoughts on how I can acheive this??

thanks in advance Steve

When Closing A Browser Window .....
Just a thought, but when a user closes the browser, is it possible to display a "thankyou".swf on a timer that will close the browser in a certain amount of time (5 secs).
I've got the timer and the image I want displayed, but havn't a clue about closing the browser.
Also do you think it's a waste of time to do this as it would be infuriating to the user.

Cheers for your time,

Closing Browser Window.
I am playing my swf file directly into the browser with no html page. I need to know how can I communicate with the browser without the html page. I tried the FSCommand but it needs the html.

I have a button in my movie that I would like for it to close the browser window that contains the swf file.

Thank you

Closing The Browser Window
How can I have a flash button close the browser window?

I created a flash cd rom with an exit button. Now the client is using this on their intranet site and the fscommand("quit") function no longer works. So I want to change the actionscript to close the browser window.

Couldn't they create an invisible button in html or javascript that lies over the flash file that closes their browser window?


Any suggestions?

Thanks

Detect Closing Browser Window
Hi all,
the problem is this one: i want my flash movie capturing browser windows client closing, to call an actionscript function that is calling a javascript function in the HTML page.
Is this possible?
Or the same problem, but in another way:
I think that once browser is closing its own window, tells flash movie to stop, and then unload it.
Is it possible for Flash to detect that "STOP"?

I need it for AICC.
Really urgent and important.

Thanks a lot.
Bye

Closing A Main Browser Window
I'm loading (onload) .swf files into an html shell. The shell holds my Flash exported SWF file, which is embedded in the html file, so, I have buttons on the top of the html page for resources, etc. I also have a link to EXIT. I'm trying to figure out how to close this main browser window using a button action. Is this close:

Header of HTML shell

<head>


<script language="javascript">
<function closewindow()

if(window.parent!=window){
window.close = function() { window.parent.close(); }}

</SCRIPT>


</head>

BUTTON in Flash:

on (release) {

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.

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

XML And Closing Browser Windows
I have a Flash/XML chat room with a couple of simple multiplayer games. Everything works fine but for one thing:

When someone closes the browser window rather than pressing the "quit" button, it does not register that the user has left - if they were in a game, the game still thinks they are in the game. As you can imagine this is causing a few problems.

So, basically I need a way to call the function that is called when the "quit" button is pressed, but when the browser window is closed.

Does anyone have any ideas how I might accomplish this?

Many thanks,

dominion.

eeep - sorry, wrong forum. I'll repost this in the XML forum. Could a mod delete this please? Thanks.

Closing Web Browser In Flash 8?
Hi all. I have a quit button in my Flash piece. Here's the code that runs when the button is pressed:


Code:

//Define the "funcCloseQuiz" function:
function funcCloseQuiz() {
fscommand("quit");//quit from CD
getURL("javascript:window.opener=self; window.close()");//quit web
}
This closes the SWF when running through the standalone Flash player but does not work when the SWF runs through a browser. This is probably a security issue with new browsers as the sample code I'm using was for Flash 5 or 6 I believe.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

AS3: Browser Closing Interruption
Having issues with this AND maybe this isn't the precise location for this post. But anywhoooooo...

I have an AS3 application that utilizes both Local Shared Object and/or server calls to save user preferences. So I want to be able to save when the user closes the browser window. I looked into the javaScript onbeforeunload event and that works great except I have to use an js alert to pause the closing mechanism.

What I would like to do is this:user initiates a browser close
onbeforeunload calls a js function
js will see if a boolean is false, if so then calls swf function to save prefs, else will close browser
swf function onSuccess or onFail will talk back to another js function
js function2 will set boolean to true and call js function 1
js function1 will see that things are saved and closes
Am I asking too much from js? too much from AS3?
