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>
<title>Close 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.
