Close window from Flash

[Octave]

Simple question...

How can I close the window on which the flash movie resides?

The flash movie is on a pop-up window and I want the user to be able to close that pop-up from the flash.

thanks

put these actions on your button in the pop up window



on (release) {
getURL ("javascript:self.close()");
}

Note that if you didn't open the window you're closing, Windows will honk at your user and ask if you really want that window closed. So if you can, open it from inside Flash to begin with also.

The actionscript works fine on a regular pop-up window but I need it for a chromeless one. An example is at www.misssixty.com when you click EXIT from the flash.

Try this code:



on (release) {
getURL ("javascript:parent.close()");
}
