Exit button won't close window when course is completed. tried javaScipt

I tried a short test (without JavaScript) and set the Project End preference to Stop Project. It didn't work when viewing locally but when it was published to our web server the exit button worked.
Has this issue been resolved? I find threads from 2011 with many people frustrated over the exit button not working; haven't found the resolution.

Can you close Firefox via Firefox/File > Exit?
That is usually a better way to close Firefox.

Pages won't close windows when I quit it since I upgraded to lion.

Ever since I upgraded to lion, whenever I open pages all the previous pages i was working on opened. It won't allow me to close them before quitting out of it, whenever I try to close them the system just ignores it.
Also the mouse cursor has been disappearing on pages.
I don't have this problem with numbers

Ever since I upgraded to lion, whenever I open pages all the previous pages i was working on opened.
The Resume feature in Lion opens the documents left open when an app was last quit. You can turn this feature off in System Preferences. See the General pane and its "Restore windows..." checkbox.

Does anything at all happen when you close a window in Pages using either the mouse or the File > Close menu command? eg a beep, a box appears, etc. It reads like you cannot close any Pages window, ever.

I accidentally pressed "Return" key and it opened around 100 finder windows. Now it won't close and when I right click on finder tab it says application not responding.

Close Windows when quitting.... Full screen

Hey all!
Has anyone figured out how to default to open apps in full screen without useing the "Close Windows when quitting...." option in preferences. I'd love to have my apps default to full screen when opening without opening every tab I had open previously in safari, or every image I've looked at going back whos knows how long in Preview. The past 5 documents I worked on in InDesign. I could go on. You get the point. Its a cool feature but defaulting to full screen and reopend ll previous windows have no realation and should be two different settings/features. Its really annoying.

Hmmm.... It already tells you exactly what it does.

Close window when command(9i): exit_form;

How can I close windows when quitting an application - but leave desktop windows open?

In Mavericks...
Is there any way to close the windows of application (when quitting - ie System Preferences => General) BUT not have this affect the finder application.
I want the windows I have opened in the finder to remain opened, but everything else to close upon quitting

Well, for some time now (since I upgraded to Mavericks) my startup goes on and on.
It will, on occasion, finish correctly and I can go on with my work, but usually, it hangs.
I can restart the finder 2 or 3 times and get it to finish loading.
If I go into System Preferences => General => and turn “Close windows when quitting an application” on, then restart, the finder usually starts up faster and does not hang
Obviously, there is some operation that is running in the background that is trying to restore itself to some unknown state that is holding up the finder application.
I have uninstalled and turned off all sort of applications that run in the background, but have not yet been able to locate the culprit.
So, I’d like to be able to have “Close windows when quitting an application” on because everything else on the machine can revert to a clean start-up state -- but I want the windows I leave opened in the finder to remain opened and where I put them.

Close Window when Back Button is Clicked on Movie Presentation

I have a .swf movie that is accessed through a link on a website. At the end of the movie are two buttons: one for "Back" and the other for "Replay." Thanks to the helpful people on the forum here, I have the buttons working so the Back button goes to the previous URL and the Replay button, well, replays.
However, the Back button opens a new window. Is there a piece of Action Script 3 that I can add to the following to close the window in my .fla Action Script Window to close the window as it jumps to the URL? Here is the script.
stop();
var link:URLRequest = new URLRequest("urlgoeshere");
bck_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
function onClick(event:MouseEvent):void
navigateToURL(link);
play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playMovie);
function playMovie(event:MouseEvent)
play();
I don't have access to the full HTML page, so I can't use javascript. I'm working through a CMS application to add content to the website, so I need to make this window close using Action Script 3 as part of the .swf file.
Thank you,
Marilyn

does it matter if you close the window?....how about just opening the page in the same page....
use
navigateToURL(link, "_self");

Exit button - Opens a new Window

Portal experts,
We are facing some problem with exit button in the standard iViews like Bank, personal data.
When we click on the exit button, it is opening a new window rather than coming out of the iView. I searched for sap notes, didnt find anything.
can anyone faced this problem?
Please help us.
Cheers
Jay

Hello Jay,
Yes you make the settings using Work Protect Mode in the Portal. If you don't want to open a new window you need to configure workprotect mode.
Simply follow this Note 734861 - WorkProtect Mode - Global Settings
Let me know in case you face any issues.

Safari won't close windows

I work in a music technology lab and on 3 of G4 Imacs, Safari can not close its windows. What I mean is that when you click on the red circle or use command W, the windows won't close. The Imacs are using 10.4.2 and have 512megs of ram. The windows do close when you quit the program. I have deleted the preferences but that did not solve the problem.
Anyone have any ideas?

Aaron,

Image Processor script won't close windows

I'm testing a client's favorite method for converting folders of, say, 1000 images from RAW to large JPEG. He now uses Photoshop in CS3: He opens File Menu > Scripts > Image Processor, designates a huge folder of RAW files, sets the right parameters, and saves to a different folder. Works perfectly (but slowly) on a Mac G5.
Now I am testing it on a Mac Pro in PS-CS4, the setup he wants to buy, using exactly the same parameters. Trouble is, the window that opens on each document isn't closed, and so they accumulate! Doesn't matter whether Tabs is enabled or not. Starts eating up scratch space and has the potential to open 1000 tabs or windows. Something is wrong.
Same operation works perfectly in PS-CS3 on this Mac Pro.
If the Close Window is missing from this repeating script, then it should be added back -- or a checkbox should be added: "Close each window." I haven't been able to create an Action that will close each window without confusing the Save/Save As mechanism in the script.
How can I report this apparent bug? Or can someone please tell me what I'm missing.
(I know there are other ways to accomplish this task. But this one should work!)

From Kathy: "I still can not find out your issues here. You may try report this to adobe through this link.
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform"
Thank you, Kathy! This was the tip I needed. I thought that Adobe may, indeed, be monitoring this forum. Many manufacturers monitor and post in their own forums, e.g. Apple.
"Also one simple workaround for you, could be create a close action and run this action in Image Processor."
I really did try this. Trouble is, you run into unresolvable interactions with a Save As dialog. I.e. the Close Action seems to interfere with the saving of the converted JPEG. At least I couldn't get it to work -- but it should not be necessary.
There are workarounds, such as selecting multiple items in Bridge, opening them all into ACR, and then selecting them all and clicking Save File. Doesn't open any windows at all! But the bug still needs to be reported.
From Ramon: "Before your frustration causes you to become overly argumentative, you may want to consider that your interlocutor may actually know a bit more than you seem to think she does. Kathy may even be part of the Adobe team, for all you know."
You are reading way too much into what I said. Argumentative? I meant what I said literally. The behavior of the Image Processor script should not have any dependencies, and the documentation (such as it is) indicates none whatever. Further, the script, when run identically in CS3, runs perfectly.

Auto Close window when finished

Does anyone know how to auto close the window when the last
frame is finished.

Hi krisTM
Try clicking Edit > Preferences... > Project node >
Start and End node. Look at the Action configured in the Project
end options area. If you click the drop-down, you should see an
option labeled "Close project". Try configuring that and
re-publishing.
Cheers... Rick

Close Window When MP3 Ends Play

I'm trying to create a webpage that will close itself when an mp3 audio file finishes playing. Right now I'm trying to do this simply by playing the mp3 from a keyframe in the timeline as an event. On the timeline I've placed a blank keyframe with an ActionScript attached to it that looks like this:
import flash.external.ExternalInterface
ExternalInterface.call("closeWindow");
stop();
The HTML page that embeds the Flash running the mp3 has a Javascript function called closeWindow that looks like this:
<script language="JavaScript">
function closeWindow(){window.close();}
</script>
Very simple very easy. But WHY DOESNT THIS WORK? The ExternalInterface call should fire off the Jscript on the HTML but it's not doing it.
Any suggestions out there?

Ok so this does work after all. First I had to create an HTML page from which to open a window containing the Flash mp3 audio using a window.open Javascript. Then, it was really important to test the whole thing on an active webserver and not just on my workstation. The webserver enabled the ExternalInterface call to connect to the window.close Javascript in the HTML page containing the Flash. So it is pretty simple after all.

Firefox won't close. When I shut it down, the window closes, but I can't reopen it. I get a message that it is still running. When I shut down my PC, I get a message that Windows can't shut down Firefox.

The question pretty much details my problem. I have to force a shutdown of Firefox and reboot to be able to browse again.

Close Window when done?

I am making little interactive quiz files in captivate. They
will be called via a link in an online training course. I want to
figure out a good way to transition from the text (html) page with
the course content to taking the .swf quiz, and then back to the
web page. In the past I have just had a link on the page that opens
a new window.
1. If I have a link open a new window with the .swf in it,
how do I get it to automatically close when the quiz is done?
2. How do I get it to open a window that is the exact size of
the .swf file?
3. Is there a way to embed it in the web page in such a way
that it is very small until someone clicks on a play button and at
that point it scales to full size?
thanks in advance.

Does it work if you put any other JS in there? What if you
put in a
custom function (whether it actually exists or not) - like
Finish();
It's odd that the lesson won't load at all...

Adobe photoshop cc 2014 won't close window with unsaved file

Recently installed update to Photoshop via creative cloud. Photoshop works great but for some reason I am unable to close a window with an unsaved project. Pressing command-w or going to file close doesn't do anything. As soon as I save the file I can close the window or quit photoshop. Is this in the preferences? Please advice.
thanks

I'm having this same issue. Can't close an unsaved file that has been opened, even if it is completely unedited. When an unsaved file is present, I can't quit Photoshop, either.
I'm on OSX 10.7.5 (yes, I know...it's aged), Photoshop CC. Plenty of memory and disk space, so that's not the issue.
Any ideas? Thanks!
