Answer 1

You can use a javascript function to remove the opened <div> from the DOM tree.

For this use the Externalinterface.call method. You just need to create a javascript function and embed the flash object with the allowscriptaccess option set to always.

The JavaScript function could be like this:

function removeDiv( divID ) {
    var div = document.getElementById(divID);
    div.parentNode.removeChild(div);
}

And the corresponding ActionScript:

ExternalInterface.call("removeDiv", "theIdOfTheDiv");
