Here's a simple example. Note that if you don't "own" the window your flash
is running in -- you opened it with window.open(...) -- this code will
again prompt the user if they really want to close the window in IE, or do
nothing (Firefox, chrome, etc).
There are ways around that, but I can't bring myself help others be evil.
;-)
Anyway:
--------------------------------------------------
in the flash:
import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
function onUserConfirmedTheyWantToExit():void
{
ExternalInterface.call("closeWindowAsync", "") ;
}
in the HTML page
<script type="javascript">
function closeWindowAsync()
{
setTimeout("closeWindowCallback()", 500) ;
}
function closeWindowCallback()
{
window.close() ;
}
</script>
------------------------------------
The use of setTimeout in the javascript is there because of some problems we
had calling "window.close" directly in IE6 (very weird IE-locking bugs if
there were other browser windows open).
