Hi there! I have a .swf file, in an HTML document that opens full-screen. I want the entire HTML document to automatically close when the .swf is done playing… without having to click a button or link and without the “Do you want to close this window?” dialogue box. I tried timing an automatic-close for the .swf… but on every computer, the thing takes slightly longer or shorter to play, and some people end up missing the last few bits of the show. [In case it matters, the HTML with the swf opens from a only-HTML link.] Is this possible? Thank you! :love: ---

Try something like this… [AS]getURL(“java\*\*script:window.opener=null; window.close(); return false;”)[/AS]
