You can also do a trick where you do a getURL() to a small "special" html file which simply has this in it:
<BODY ONLOAD="top.close()"> Should be pretty transparent to the user. So essentially, the HTML file does the Javascript, not Flash. However, if the original Flash file is not spawned from Javascript, doing this still works, but you get a prompt first. This is how we get around Javascript security issues when the Flash 8/9 player is running inside the iceplayer.
