flash actionscript: Captain Elgy,

No worries. :) Every one of us was new at some point.

What do you mean by "end a flash file"? Do you mean stop? If so, a
stop() action may be all you need -- that will stop the timeline. Do you
mean quit and close the browser window? If so, you'll be stepping outside
the realm of Flash, so you'd have to trigger JavaScript to close the window.

Hi there folks,

Unfortunately I'm new to flash so you'll have to forgive this question,

Q) What is the correct script to end a flash file once it reaches a specific
frame (e.g If you want to end a Flash presentation when it reaches a certain
point!?).

If anyone can help with this, it would be much appreciated!! :)

Thanks for responding to my question,

Captain Elgy,

Sure thing.

If by "window" you mean the browser that contains the Flash movie (that
is, the SWF), then yes, you'll have to use JavaScript. The window.close()
method does what you want. In order to trigger JavaScript from
ActionScript, take a look at the ExternalInterface class in the ActionScript
2.0 Language Reference. If your version of Flash is earlier than 8, let me
know.

add this line to the frame where you want your flash to exit

fscommand("quit", "");
