View 3 RepliesI have a simple AIR app that listens on a socket using the SocketServer class.I have the following code when I first start up the app:
if( serverSocket.bound )
{
serverSocket.close();[code]....
However I find that if I try to test my movie after making some quick changes, I can't bind to the same address:port. I'm guessing that somehow that the port is still occupied. I get a "Operation attempted on invalid socket" error.But if I wait a bit and then test my movie, I can bind to the address:port. The close() is not taking affect. Can I try to close() this when the user decides to exit the app? Is there some sort of event that allows me to do something before the app quits?
I created a Flash application that reads POST data from a form. A user clicks the button, and the data gets posted to the flash app in a new window (_blank). Now takes the data and then spins a wheel to give users a prize. If they don't win a message pops up letting them know they didn't win. If they don't win, clicking the OK button needs to close the browser window.
I've tried a number of solutions and it seems that the only way to get this done is to launch the window with javascript and then use ExternalInterface.call('window.close'); to close the window from within the Flash actionscript (3) because otherwise the window won't close (I've tried just using window.close and window.close() with no luck)
I understand how to launch a new window with javascript, but I don't know how to simultaneously launch and POST data to that window (the Flash application has to have the POST data. Is this the best solution? Is there a way to close a browser window easier than what I'm describing?[URL]
I have an asp page that will open a new asp page in a new window that contains a swf file with a button.hen the user clicks the button i want to close that window and reload the parent window.
View 9 RepliesI'm trying to create a webpage that will close itself when an mp3 audio file finishes playing. Right now I'm trying to do this simply by playing the mp3 from a keyframe in the timeline as an event. On the timeline I've placed a blank keyframe with an ActionScript attached to it that looks like this:
import flash.external.ExternalInterfaceExternalInterface.call("closeWindow");stop();
The HTML page that embeds the Flash running the mp3 has a Javascript function called closeWindow that looks like this:

I hope someone here can help me figure out why my Flash CS4 on a Mac 10.6.2 machine crashes unexpectedly every time I open a file. (I have posted the entire crash log below) The program will open, and even stay open when I choose a .fla file for about 5-10 seconds and then CRASH every time. For what it's worth, all my other design collection programs work fine.I have tried uninstalling and reinstalled the Flash app., but it didn't do anything. I have also tried deleting all preference files and application support files in my user, and the problem persists.Does anyone have any ideas? I have a Flash job to get out and no way to work on it![code]

View 3 RepliesI'm trying to create a pop up window in Flash which also fades the background window to 75% black. When the user closes the pop up window, I'd like for the parent window to un-fade back to normal. Is this possible? I can do the first half of it and make the background window fade to 75% black. The difficult thing is making it fade back to normal when the user closes the pop up window.My thoughts are that I need to attach some code to the browser's built in close window button. It might require some javascript or a fscommand. I'm not sure.
View 9 RepliesACTUALLY i just thought of another one so now i have two. sorry. hope you don't mind. i get sidetracked rather easily. before i start, a quick nota bene. i'm a complete newcomer to flash so my questions are very simpleminded. not much of a challenge i'm afraid.
1. can i put a link in my movie that will close the window?
2. can i put a link in my movie that will open a new window of a specific size, and without the menu-buttons of explorer?
I simply want to close the browser window from Flash. The browser window may or may not be a popUp window.
This is what I have, but it is not working:
ActionScript Code:
public function closeBrowser(e:MouseEvent):void {
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("javascript:window.opener='x';window.close();");
navigateToURL (req);
}
Im currently working on a lite fix to ease the closing function of the popup windows in a flash presentation to our customers.Right now i have used the Flash Window component, and the close button in the right corner are the only way to close the window. But are there some way possible to make it possible to close the window by clicking inside off it?
here are the AS code:
Code:
function open_popup(page_url, pageNumber) {
if (zoom_win != undefined) {
return;

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to simply close a Browser window from within flash... code below:
Code:
closeButton_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,closeWindow);

When the button is clicked, the code seems to open a new browser window then close it immediately, looks like a flicker on the screen.
In Flash CS5 for Mac, when I click the red button in the upper left corner of the document, the application quits instead of just closing the window. In CS3 this didn't happen. The document window would close and the Welcome Screen would appear.

View 5 RepliesI want to make an actionscript where, at the end of my Flash-movie, the Flash-window will close 'automatically' after the getURL-action is performed. Can someone tell me how to do this?Like, in the last frame, I got so far:
stop();
getURL("http://www.somewhere.com");
I cant seem to find the solution to call the javascript:window.close() function.It is running locally so there may be some issues on that front.Has anybody used this type of functionality before. it is doing my head in.

I have an html page with a link that loads a popup window. The popup includes a simple Flash movie. Some basic Javascript code in the html file was used to produce the popup window. What Im trying to do is have a button that I created in the Flash app close the Flash movie and the popup window.
View 2 RepliesI've built a presentation that requires the need to open pdf files in Acrobat Reader... as I have been building this on a Mac I simply used the geturl code which has been working a treat... today when I tested it on a PC it opened the file in a browser window!
I'm not really a coder and have to rely on finding bits online that I can tweak... after many hours I have fixed the pdf opening problem by using the fscommand method, but unfortunately when the pdf file is closed, my presentation (that was running fullscreen) has minimised itself to a window 100% to the original stage size!
The only way I have found so far to capture the browser window close event from actionscript/flash is actually to capture the event in javascript, and then use a javascript/flash data passing from the javascript callback.
Something around those lines:
window.onbeforeunload = clean_up;
function clean_up()
{
var flex = document.${application} || window.${application};

is there a code to close the flash player window from a button in the flash movie? i want to run a movie full screen then have a button in the flash movie close the window when the people are done viewing it.
View 2 RepliesI have an application that runs as a projector and is meant to run full screen in a kiosk. However, when the app is expanded to full screen it crashes and I get an error message of:
Faulting application test.exe, version 10.0.2.54, faulting module test.exe, version 10.0.2.54, fault address 0x0015187e. Event ID: 1000
If I run it in a web browser and try to go full screen the same thing happens. I've been all over the web and haven't found anything. Have uninstalled virus software thinking it might be a problem.
Does anyone know the syntax for closing a swf window using a button, similar to closing a popup window? I am creating a small game, and am giving the user the option to "play again" or "quit" at the end of the game, so i want the quit button(standard library on(press)) to close the swf file.
View 2 RepliesI have an .exe with a button that opens an outside .swf. I want to include a close button on that .swf that closes just that outside movie. I tried:
