RE: [Flashcoders] window.close() doesn't work in player 7.0.69
Sometimes this fails due to security settings on the browser - for example, if
the window that holds Flash was not spawned by Javascript, then the window is
not allowed to close itself - other cases javascript like this will fail
completely. As long as Javascript is allowed in some form on the end user's
browser, then what we do which works everytime is create an HTML file that has
this in it:
html
head
titleClose Window/title
/head
!--This file is just a hack to just make the window close itself--
BODY ONLOAD=top.close()
/body
/html
Then, make your button in Flash do a getURL() to that file (Do NOT specify a
target param) - the Flash file will navigate away from it's own HTML file, and
the new HTML file will close itself. So to the user, the Flash file closes
itself, even though in reality it just navigated away and another file does the
closing.

Subject: [Flashcoders] window.close() doesn't work in player 7.0.69
Hi:
My client and his employees have flash player version 7.0.69
I tried with a new movie with only a button and the button
has the code:
on(release){
getURL(javascript:top.window.close(););
}
Then I tried with a new javascript funcion and with
fscommand as you suggest in all emails in the list about
close window, but It doesn't work. I tested in flash player
7.0.19 and 8 and 9 and it works. But the client needs the
movie works on 7.0.69 with IE and I couldn't find the issue.
I aprecciate if you can help me.
I uplodad the flash player 7.0.69 installer in my server.

Re: [Flashcoders] window.close() doesn't work in player 7.0.69
Hi:
Thanks for your answer but I had some trouble implementing.
I changed the event onLoad by the event OnUnload and when I try to add the
getURL action in flash without a parameter, flash returns an error message
because the parameter is required so I used .
My html has:
html
head
titleClose Window/title
/head
!--This file is just a hack to just make the window close itself--
BODY ONUNLOAD=top.close()
/body
/html
And my flash file has
on(release){
getURL();
}
But this failed. Did I do a mistake implementing your solution?
Thanks
Carolina Avila

Yes. :) the HTML code should be the code in an HTML document. Name that
document close.html or something. Then your getURL should be:
getURL(close.html);
What I mean by no target params is not to do something like this:
getURL(close.html, _blank)
Which is a common technique to spawn a new window. In this case, you don't
want to do that.
