Comment 2

[Chris Casciano]

I wouldn't call this invalid just yet...

the movie could be doing something like this with actionscript in which case
this is breaking the JS secuity model as the reporter infers:

getURL("javascript:_parent.window.close()");

I'd have to hit a reference to see if theres a way to do this more directly with
actionscript.

WFM Gecko/20031116, Windows XP, get the following message in Javascript Console:
"Scripts may not close windows that where not opened by script"

Pleae reopen if you can reproduce with new build.
