This may be very basic to some but here goes -

I am using Flash MX to create a website with several different swf’s that open independently in there own windows but as an alternative to using the x button I want to create a close window button on the page which will well close the window.  
Is this a Actionscript? or Javascript? issue.  
What is the best way to do this?  
Thanks

here is a link to the main window then links to the individual pieces that open and then I need to close with the button!

javascript:window.close();

Thanks!

It works - although is there anyway to not have it bring up the alert box saying “The Web page you are viewing is trying to close the window”  
with YES NO buttons?

Yes you are right about that part rev.

But to close the window, I believe you need to add this script to the button(as well as have the script rev provided in your HTML page)…

on(release) {  
getURL(“javascript:closeWin.Click()”);  
}

Ah!  
Thank you both very much - that is exactly what I was after!

I swear this forum and all the help that is available from great scripters, designers, and everyone else saves an enormous amount of time and energy.

Again I appreciate it all very much!
