Details

See the game in flash. IN the top left are there is a flash based link that says
" CLOSE WINDOW". The flash window is small so.... use the right mouse button to
zoom in. 

THen click.. the browser just close window ...

Is this the way it is supposed to work? (I mean .. without any prompt.. etc).
Agreed. The flash plugin content shouldn't be able to close the window like
that. IE6 and Nav4.75 throw up a prompt asking if it's OK to close the window.
We should do the same.

Fabricio, 

is possible to make a flash that try to close the window (without having to
click)???

I think this is a dup of 99001 because browser should ask user
before closing if this closing is generated by JS of flash
or something else except File->Close
I propose to close this bug as duplicate of bug #103353:
"Crash when frame or iframe has SRC="javascript:window.close()".
I downloaded source file (in *fla format) of flash movie:
you can download *fla file from the same page as specified in bug description.
I found out that action assigned to releasing of 'Close Window' button is:
getURL("javascript:window.close()"). So I'm definetely sure that this
bug is the dup of #103353. 
Hummm.. Makes sense. This is probably reusing JS to do the close thing.
