Here is what I did:
I created a form. Once the form has been filled out and submitted, I would like a way for that window to be closed and the user redirected back to the default page. I used the getURL for the close button to another html page but it displays the page in the window that I want closed.

Spoonyg, I tried that code before but a message boxes appears with "The web page you are trying to view is trying to close the window. Do you want to?"

have you tried:
on (release) {
getURL ("javascript:self.close()");
}
I used the getURL for the close button to another html page but it displays the page in the window that I want closed.

im confused:
what is the other html page?
is the form in a popup window that youve launchd?

I think I figured this out. I used the code that spoonyg gave me, and created a javascipt function called "closer" on a close.htm. In the <Body> tag using the onload, I called that function and it closes the window.
<body onload="javascript:closer()">

Thanks for all of the help :)

you can just insert the javascript directly in flash. you just don't need those quotes. I have ex example you can download with some other javasrcipt elements too. You can find it at:
