Hi,
I have a J2EE application using Flex on the client side. Whenever
there is a severe system error such as unable to establish connection
with the server or session timed out, I need to pop up a dialog with
a "Close Browser" button which allows users to close the Flex
application. In my original solution, I had a callback to
ExternalInterface to invoke the following JavaScript function:
"window.close()"
The above JavaScript function works fine in IE and FF 3.0, but not in
FF 2.0. The browser window in my FF 2.0 simply did not close when the
function got called. This is a known bug in FF 2.0 in which a non-
script-owned window (window opened by a URL) cannot be closed by
calling window.close().
Question: Is there any Flex method that can help me accomplish the
same task without doing any browser callback or JavaScript? My
purpose is trying to move away from being depedent on browser
versions.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
