[Xerte] Is there a way to make an exit button?

[Dave Burnett]

It doesn't close the window, but you said you tested it with an alert in the JS and it is actually trying to do something?
Or am I having a senior moment?

I changed the case to getURL('javascript:closeWindow()'); but it still doesn't work. I also tried adding the following to the main setup script:
 
// set security to allow access to scripts in our domain.System.security.allowDomain('*.harlandds.com');System.security.allowDomain('localhost');
 
I'm testing on localhost. The updated file still doesn't close the window. It does (and did this with getURL) cause Firefox to open a new tab, but it's blank. The Xerte window stays open. Oh, and Firebug (a Firefox plugin for web developers) reports "closeWindow is not defined" as a javascript error. I'm sure that's because it isn't finding the JS code in the web page.

getURL should work. Check the case.

So how do you access external javascript? I've added the following to the script section of the html page:
 
function closeWindow () {    // closes this window    self.close ();}
 
I've tried calling it with:
 
getUrl('javascript:closeWindow()');
 
and:
 
ExternalInterface.call('closeWindow');
 
Neither work, so I know I'm not doing it right. What's the correct command and syntax? fsCommand?

You've got it - it will have to be some javascript. I don't know if you can close the window without that 'a script is trying to close this window' security dialog.
 
Let me know how you get on - I could add a close function to the html pages Xerte publishes,

Is there a command that will close the Flash window? rootIcon.exit(); leaves the "Loading Complete" message on screen. Or will I have to call some javascript in the html page that launches the course?
