Hi guys,

first time poster, but longtime Flash user (although not too long on the actionscripting side).

It seems my old html popup and Flash 7 close popup window actionscript won't work anymore in Flash 9 (the popup window will be for a kids game site).

Can anyone point me in the right direction on a good tutorial for popping up from a html file, but that the popped up window can be close by a flash button?

I've have this in my index.html file

<script language="JavaScript">
window.open('test.html','1','fullscreen=yes,scroll bar=no');
</script>

and then this code on a button in my flash file to close test.html

on (release) {
getURL("java script:self.opener=self;self.close();");

}

i've also tried:

"java script:window.open('','_parent','');window.close() ;");

and

"java script:window.close();"

and

"java script:window.opener=self; window.close()"

and

"java script:self.close();"

but nothing works http://www.webwasp.co.uk/forum/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif

Any help would be most appreciated.
