Question

I’m creating a Flash Application that will be exported in exe format and it’s not going to run in browser. I want to add an exit button inside stage but I don’t know how to do that with ActionScript 3.

I remember that it was possible with fscommand in ActionScript 2 but it’s not working in AS3.

I’ve searched everywhere but everyone is trying to close a popup or tab or window all in browser environment not a Flash app.

Why would use a .exe format when you can now export as3 application as AIR?
BUT
If you still want the exe, I think that this will work

 import flash.system.fscommand;

 //Then you can use the following function for the button click handler:

 private function clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
      fscommand("quit");
 }

If you decide to try the AIR solution, this is the command

 import flash.desktop.NativeApplication;
 nativeApp.nativeApplication.exit();
