Closing the browser from a flash button?

[skidpanda]

Can anyone tell me how to close the browser window when a button in a flash movie is pressed ?

Cheers :nerd:

Hey skidpanda,
Simply add the following line to your button:
on (release) {
getURL("javascript:window.close()");
}


Cheers!

And if it's your main browser window and you don't want the alert, try this:

Here is a browser window component. Drop it onto your stage, fill in the info like:

URL
Width and Height
Centered or not
Fullscreen
Close after x seconds
Scrollbar/Status/Toolbar/Resize yes no

They close with code that was posted prev.

Pretty useful.
