Hi all, I am trying to make an exit button for an .exe, and I cannot work out what actionscript to attribute to a button, can someone help? I have tried multiple scripts, and this is my current one:

on.press= function () {  
fscommand(“quit”);}

I can’t see what is wrong with this, can someone please help!?

By the way… the event handler is [font=courier new]onPress[/font], so your code should read as follows:

```auto
onPress = function () {
fscommand("quit");
};

```

And welcome to kirupa forum. 🙂
