flash actionscript: I have a rather seemingly simple question. We are constructing a cd that will
autorun and begin playing a flash animation (swf file), and at the end of that
animation, I need to put some actionscript into the last frame that will end
it, kill the player window, and open a browser window and go directly to an
html file on that same cd. Could someone provide a snippet of code that would
achieve this? I am using Flash CS3 but am sticking to actionscript 2.0 for the
movie. Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you in advance.

Hi

Publish it as a Flash Projector file and at the end of the Flash file put

fscommand("quit");

Thank you for your response, but I am having a problem getting both things to
happen at the same time. I can get the window to disappear but not load a url;
or if I do it the other way, i can get the url to load in a browser but not
kill the projector window. I have tried this on different frames as well but
am not having any luck. Please help! thank you!!

I finally got it; sorry guys. I have achieved this in loading an internet
address. My question is is it possible for the original animation window to
kill itself if published as an swf or must it be exe only>?? our client seems
to be a bit jittery about executables.

just one question at this point. Where is your swf running? inside a standalone
player, or embedded inside a HTML page.

if the latter is the case, you can use javascript methods to control the same.
you can open a new window, close the current (they have workarounds) and even
navigate to another html page if that is what you want.

swfs dont have access to control the player window when running inside
standalone player. They need to access some other language api to do so.
Either embed your swf in some projector + wrapper, or inside a Web page.
