I am stuck trying to find out how I can close a Flash Movie using ActionScript 3.0. I don't know what should come in my MovieClip's mouse event handler.

init();

function init():void
{
	btnExitClip.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnExitClickHandler);
}

function btnExitClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
{
	// Close Flash Movie with "Exit" button
	// What comes here..?!
}

Is this for an AIR app? Or for swf?

swf

If you are loading a swf into another swf (like galleries or video thingies may do) then you could close the loaded one with something like so:

removeChild(yourLoadedSwf);

If you are tyring to close the window that containes the swf, you may be able to use this:

fscommand("quit", true);

I know it works in AS2.0, but am not sure aobut AS3.0...

Hope that helps.

fscommand(command:String,args:String):void

Do you know what the args argument means?

fscommand("quit"); works..

It only works in the Flash Player though. I mean, it closes the swf window when I opened the file from my computer, but when I open my swf in a browser it won't do anything. If it is possible to make this work in a browser, then you'd help me even more!

Um, maybe. You iwll have to get a JS/Flash communications library and use the Javascript window.close() function.

I found some code on gotoAndLearn() Flash Forums that should close the browser window:

function btnExitClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
{
	//fscommand("quit");
  	var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("java script:window.close();");
  	navigateToURL(req, "_self");
}

I think we're pretty close here, but it doesn't work yet.
