Theres no close action. Some workarounds:  
-set the mc invisible;  
-remove the mc;  
-create an animation of the mc “leaving the screen”;

i mean by “close” as in like when you press the “close” button in the right hand corner to close your browser window so in a sense, the browser window is the mc.

that would be removeMovieclip() then 🙂

If you didnt create the movieclip with actionscript though, you will need to use swapDepths on it to remove it however.
