detecting if Flash movie playing or has stopped..

[Frances Del Rio]

pls how do I detect if .swf movie is playing or has stopped? .swf is in
a pop-up, I would like to trigger a window.close() once Flash movie has
stopped playing..

(pls don't lecture me about pop-ups; this is for a client....;) thank
you.. Frances

Frances,

With javascript there is no way to detect if a flash movie has stopped.
However, you can do this in flash. Simply go to the last frame, and
using actionscript make a call to your javascript function that'll
close the newly made window.
