Hello everyone !

I have my game in a browser window (incredible !).

I put a red cross in top of my game and want that it close the window.

I’m using the following code :

```auto

close_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,close_window);

function close_window(evt:MouseEvent)
{
    ExternalInterface.call("window.close()");
}

```

and the js console answer :  
Scripts may not close windows that were not opened by script.

any trick ?  
thank you !
