close a flash window

[adanker]

Anyone in here know exactlyhow you can close a window in flash MX?

I am thinking this may be using an fscommand or something.

We are launching a"swf" within Authorware and the movie needs to play through to the end and close itself. I believe that this window or "frame" is making use of the flash-player standalone, differing from what IE or the browser uses slightly.

At this point I think we are going to create a self supporting Flash window that will not need to close...

On the last frame of your movie, try adding a getURL function to close the window that the flash movie is contained in.
Like this:
getURL('javascript:self.close()');

ecsyle -
The 'quit' fscommand is mainy for projectors running on a CD Rom. fscommand('quit'); will shut a projector down.

Oh. Thanks casedsgn. I didn't know that. I'm still learning flash /emoticons/icon_cry.gif
