[Flashcoders] How to Exit/Close the Web Browser from Flash Applications?
Hello, How to Exit/Close the Web Browser from Flash Applications? Could anyone suggest a code to exit the flash application and close the web browser window? I realize, the solution might be using ExternalInterface with JS. The question is how? The user can exit the flash application by clicking on an exit button or he/she can click on the Window “X”. When clicking either on the “exit” button or on the Window “X”, the flash application will show an alert message, asking the user whether he/she really want to exit. Upon clicking “yes” the application and web browser will close. Therefore, when the user clicks on the Window “X” the flash application needs to detect this click.

Re: [Flashcoders] How to Exit/Close the Web Browser from Flash Applications?
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).

The timeout is a good idea, I realized I stopped doing that somewhere along
the way, but especially macs as well had a knack for crashing if the calling
object was destroyed in the process of the call.

Hello, http://www.actionscript.org/resources/articles/638/1/Basics-of-using-the-ExternalInterface/Page1.html http://www.actionscript.org/resources/articles/745/1/JavaScript-and-VBScript-Injection-in-ActionScript-3/Page1.html The above links may be useful to you; yet, keep in mind that with popup blockers being installed automatically and recommended to users in new browsers, that what you want to do may not work 100% of the time, even with user interaction, because calls to open and close are heavily scrutinized.
