Yes, there's a trick of the trade. It goes like this:
1) MIAW that wants to forget itself sets a global variable: global gWindowToKill gWindowToKill =the activeWindow Note that it doesn't do the "forgetting" itself. 2) The stage (whatever your main movie is), on a regular basis (idle loop or exit frame), does this: global gWindowToKill if not voidp(gWindowToKill) then forget gWindowToKill gWindowToKill =VOID end if This way the forgetting is always done in the context of the stage. What you're running into is that you're forgetting the very movie you're executing, and effectively pulling the rug out from under its feet and the call stack is left with nothing to return to. The proper way around it is to just set a flag, and when the stage is executing, then it can safely remove the window. If you are running a lot of windows that might be closing more or less simultaneously, then you'll probably instead want to use not a single variable but perhaps a list of windows that would need to be killed, so you don't forget anyone. - Tab At 09:03 AM 3/20/02 -0800, Mattie Wells wrote: >I've developed a presentation with approximately 25 MIAWs every time I try >to use 'forget window' I receive a projector error and the projtor.exe >crashes.
