ActionScript 2.0 :: Closing The Browser Window With JS?
Jun 17, 2009
I think my original post on this was lost following from the hacking of the site, so I'll try again.
Hopefully someone out there will have an idea where I am going wrong with this: I am currently trying to close browser window that a flash movie is running. Due to the fact that the browser window is not a popup "child", using the normal "self.close()" or "window.close()" brings up the IE7+ prompt of "This page is trying to close this the window" when it is executed.
I have looked around for this and haven't found a way that clearly explains how to do this. More often than not the button will close the browser window in one but not another browser.
Is the a simple way of closing a browser window in all types of browser ( Or mainly Firefox, IE and safari on both Mac and PC ) with actionscript?

I am currently trying to work out how to get Flash to close the browser window it is running in. I've done a simple Javascript test version which works fine.. But if I try and use: ExternalInterface.call("closeMyWindow"); Functionality it does not. My simple Javascript version is cut and paste below and attached to this message.
Using AS3, and without modifying the published HTML file, I want close the browser window (IE/Firefox) in which my SWF is playing on click of a button. This is not a pop-up window that the SWF is running in. It is the main browser window.
Here's my code: btn_closeBrowser.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, close_Browser); function close_Browser(event:MouseEvent):void{ var jscommand:String = "window.close();"; var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("javascript:" + jscommand + " void(0);"); navigateToURL(req, "_self");}
Nothing happens when I click on btn_closeBrowser in IE or Firefox.
An old discussion - but still relevant: Does anyone know a script for a button making it able to close a Firefox browser window (on a mac)?
I have tried 1) variants of "javascript:window.close()" and 2) to make the button open a new window in itself, which immediately afterwards closes itself...
how does one close a browser window using the FSCommand. The normal 'quit' option works only closes a projector file. But i need to close a browser window.
I hear there is some technical javascript wizadry which allows one to do this.

I have to put a flash lesson I created on a cd for a client and while testing it I noticed that my exit button in the movie no longer seems to function.This is my close window function
function closeWindow(evt:Event) var url:String = "javascript:window.opener=self; window.close()"; var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url); try
Working on a flash poker game and I wonder if there is any way you can create a popup launcher that detects if the user tries to close the browser window. Right now the user can close the window and therefor lose the current round, isnt very user friendly
I made a custom class which shows a popup window in flash. What I want to do is to close it by clicking anywhere but not the window itself (and everything that is a button on the stage). I added this line of code
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)
I'm trying to add an event listener to a window that pops up (to the whole window) that will close that window when clicked on. Basically it's your typical about window that would be found in any program by hitting help, then about this program. I am using no chrome on it so I'd like to just be able to click it and have it close.
On a less important note I'd like to center the window on the stage when it pops up. Right now I'm just using the x and w properties to get it close to center on my monitor but obviously that won't work for everyone. Below is the code I've tried. No luck whatsoever. Window pops up but stays up if I click it. Any help as always would be AMAZING!
I am having a problem with my sound. I have this toggle button I'm using to turn sound on and off. This is only working for me in the "home" or the first scene but not any of the others. I have the code for this in the "home" scene on the actions layer. Do I need to put the code on all scenes to make it work? If not, then what am I doing wrong?Also, in my "web" and "print" scenes, I have the smaller thumbnail images open up a pop up of a larger version of that image. I have a close button on each pop up, but it is not working. This is the code on the button:
Simple..close a pop up window from flash.[code]and the button to close the pop up is this:[code]However, this closes the parent window and leaves the pop up open.Have tried this in various ways but nothing seems to work??
I wanted to know if there is a way for the SWF to programmatically close the parent browser window or tab using AS. Also, is there a way for the SWF to tell the parent browser to bring itself to the top of the other windows (i.e. "bring itself into focus")?
close the web browser (including the swf document) and to open another webpage in a new browser. I have looked around and nothing seems to work with Firefox (because of java security). While I know a user could disable this java security, it is obviously not practical to ask every one who visits the site to so and was curious if there is a way to do this same operation with Firefox?
I'm a web designer but I just don't use a lot of Flash. I'm sure this will change as time goes on. For now, I'm still using an old version of Flash MX on my Mac - Flash MX version 6. But I don't think that has anything to do with the problem. I designed a flash animation for my wife's website back in 2004 and it has always worked perfectly up until installing the most recent Flash Player 10.0.32.18 just a few days ago. Here's the problem:On my wife's website, we have a special link called "view presentation". You click on that link and a smaller, separate window pops up. Inside of this pop up window is the flash animation (the actual swf file). In the HTML code for the pop up window, I have coded the following javascript:
function closeWin() { if (document.images) { self.close();
I want to create a button that closes down a fullscreen window. At the moment I have a button with the following AS. on (release){ getURL("javascript:window.close();") } When I press the button It does nothing in IE and in MZ it says: Macromedia has stopped a potentially safe operation
There are many posts about how to close browsers, but so far I can't get any of them to work from a custom class. I am new to AS3 so I could be doing something wrong. My class *is* being called and the method *is* executing, but the browser (IE) does not close. I'm wondering if this might be a scope issue of some kind?
I am making a flash application and I am trying to find function to use when I press the close button of the projector window. I dont want to make a button that uses fscommand("quit") since this would be impractical knowing that a default close button on the window is already available. Anyway the purpose of the function is that when I close my application, a dialog box/message would appear as a reminder that some data has not yet been saved and give the user an option to save or quit the application.
i have a flash site that links to PDF's with the navigateToURL function which works etc But now i would like Link to rather open up a download window instead of just a new browser window?
