Exit Course Trigger - The flash version not closing the browser
Apr 07, 2014
Hello all ,
I am having problem with the "Exit Course". The problem is simple I added the "Exit Course" trigger to a button and it does not do its job.
So what followed is testing and googling why. With testing I found out that in HTML5 output the "Exit Course" trigger works. The only problem is when you launch it throught story.html, which loads the flash version. In this case only IE was able to recognize that the application is trying to close the browser, Chrome and Firefox didnt react.
What I googled is to change the settings in the Player-Other , and change the settings to open the published project in a New Window. I had no luck with this, still the same problem remained. The flash version wont close the browser in Chrome/Firefox.
Is there a way to fix this ?

Hi Michal and welcome to Heroes!
It sounds like you may have run across the support article here, where there are a few different options for the exit course trigger. Have you been testing the course locally or within the intended publish environment as mentioned in that article?
Hi Ashley,
I run into the same challenge, the "exit course" trigger does not work on Chrome, while it works fine in IE. Are there any workarounds on this?
Tanks a lot in advance!
Hi Amaia,
Ugh, sorry this is tripping you up too! As browsers implement more security features they've continued locking down on things like the "exit course" functionality.
It looks like the link I shared before is broken right now - so we'll get that fixed! There is another copy of it here. That'll give you some other ideas for workarounds.
I have the same problem. Please advise on the fix!
Hi Maureen!
When you use the Exit course trigger, you may find that it doesn't function as expected in your published course. There are several possible reasons why this could happen. Take a look at this article and let me know if the tips shared there are helpful for you!
