Re: [flexcoders] Looking for a consistent way to close the current browser window in Flex

yep... 
can't close a dialog in firefox with _javascript_ unless the user has his browser set up to do that...
which is not the default..

in IE unless the window was opened with _javascript_ you'll get a prompt saying a script is trying to close the window... do you want to let it do that...

if the window is opened with js it will close it automatically with no prompt

See if this makes any difference:

getURL("_javascript_:window.opener=self; window.close();");

 

And I only use IE.  There are likely browser issues.

Subject: [flexcoders] Looking for a consistent way to close the current browser window in Flex

 

I am looking to close a window after a Flex app loads in it.  I am using the following function – it seems to close every now and then but not all the time.

 

function closeWindow() {

            getURL('_javascript_:window.close()');  

        }

 

Anyone have a sure fire way of doing this?

 

Thanks,

Jeff
