Whoa--that will guarantee a crash. When forgetTheMIAW finishes
executing, it will try to return control to the MIAW, which no longer
exists.
You have to set a flag and have the stage check that flag. I've seen a
couple of good solutions posted. I use a timeout object:
In the MIAW:
tell the stage
CloseModalDLOG
end tell
in the main movie:
on CloseModalDLOG
gTeacherPrefsTimeOut = timeOut(gMiawName).new(50, #mForgetWindow,
VOID)
end
on mForgetWindow
lWindowName = gTeacherPrefsTimeOut.name
if not voidP(window lWindowName) then
window(lWindowName).forget()
gMiawName = VOID
end if
gTeacherPrefsTimeOut.target = VOID
gTeacherPrefsTimeOut.forget()
gTeacherPrefsTimeOut = VOID
end
Cordially,
