I'm not sure where you are trying to reference closeboxflag2 from but 
from the looks of your code, you are mixing things that shouldn't be 
mixed.  The following works:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
            var closeboxflag = false;
            var closeboxflag = "";
            closeboxflag = confirm("Are you sure you want to close?")
            if (closeboxflag == true) {
              closeboxflag2 = "true";
            } else {
              closeboxflag2 = "false";
            }
    </script>
