Believe it or not, this is really not a bad plan you've hit upon
(even if it seems rather unexpectedly baroque), as it lets Director
know a MIAW has closed safely and that the projector can exit without
giving you an IML32.DLL crash.
I've done variants myself of this using behaviors rather than globals
but your method's an equally valid approach.
In my behavior I set a boolean prop to true when the window is
opened; on each exitFrame I test to see if that's still true. If it
is, I then see if the window has been closed or not. If it has, I do
a forget on it and then set the boolean back to false; else I know
the user has not clicked the MIAW's close box, so I want to leave it
alone. Wonky, but this really is a safer way to do thigs with MIAWs
than having them self-destruct.
