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

[Paul Swanson]

Not an alert. I just ran the code as I've written it below. The getURL
caused a blank tab to open while leaving the window the course is
running in open.

	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?
