I don't know how to do this with flash. But you could do it with javascript. Any

number of annoying porno sites use this trick to open a new window "on close."

I've never done it myself but if you poke around some javascript sites and say

"on close" enough someone will pipe up on how to do it. Or you could just surf

porno sites until you find one and steal the code. Instead of opening a new

window you want it to pass a variable.
