Create a Button that Closes the Presentation

Question

All, I want a button on the last slide of my presentation that, when clicked, will close the browser window in which the presentation is playing. Will this involve Javascript? I tried some, but I probably screwed it up because it won't work. Some step-by-step guidance would be much appreciated, should someone have a few moments to guide me. Trying to make something more obvious than the X button on the playbar. Thanks so much!

Hi thereAs explained in the Frequently Encountered Issues topic, closing the window is "iffy" and depends on different factors.The simplest approach is to avoid JavaScript altogether. Just configure the project to close when it completes. Then if you want a button that closes the project, configure it to jump to the last slide. Time that last slide super short. The net result will be that the user clicks the button, it jumps to the last slide for a split second, then if the project is capable of closing, it closes!Cheers...
