The Easiest way to close a popup window in Flash

This is going to seem way too simple but it meets the minimum criteria in that it works well.

Basically create a button ... right-click on the button...select Actions ... double-click on Basic Actions/getURL

In the URL box at the bottom of the actionscript window type the following code:

javascript:window.close()

leave the "window" box blank

select "don't send"


When used in a popup window it will not send an alert that says "Do you really want to close this window?"

On a non-popup window it will send the alert.

It works equally well in either popup windows or regular windows. It also does well in HTML pages by specifying the javascript:window.close() in place of a normal link address.

Please contact me if you have any ?'s

Good Luck!
