Help!  I am trying to figure out how to get a swf publication to automatically close either when it is done playing or on a button click.  Can someone please  let me know how to do this?

    There is a command Exit that you can use for every event capable of

    triggering an action:.On Exit for a slide, Success event when clicking an

    interactive object like a shape button.

    If you click Edit > Preferences, there is a section called Project and inside that section is an area called Start and End. You are able to configure the end action to be to close project. If you do this, you could then add a very brief slide to the end of the project. And if you want a button or whatever to exit, just configure it to jump to the last slide. If the project is capable of being closed by this method, it should then close. But there's the rub.

    Whether or not a project can be closed is entirely dependent on the way it was opened. If it's been opened into what is known as a "child" window, it should close without issue. But if not, it may appear to do nothing or it may simply prompt the user with a message advising the browser is about to be closed and asking if they wish to allow it to happen. It depends on the browser.

    Cheers... Rick
