John,
I have had the same problem recently, and after some digging into
macromedia's site, found that you cannot initiate a closing of a MIAW window
from itself. Apparently, after you call the handler from the MIAW window, it
expects a return value internally, and if the window does not exist anymore,
it can cause some nasty crashes.
My workaround was to have an object in the main stage, and have a property
in that object that can set to true, therefore signaling the object to close
the window, not directly from the window itself.
Hope this helps...
Morgan-

Subject: <lingo-l> closing MIAWs = a fatal error
I have a problem with a project and a number of its MIAWs. I have tried a
number of ways to close an MIAW
------------------------
GLOBAL myMIAW
on mouseDown
tell the stage to forget myMIAW
end
--------------------
on mouseDown
tell the stage to forget window "myMIAW"
end
-------------------
on mouseDown
forget window "myMIAW"
end
----------------
and none of these have worked. Has anybody had a similar problem and been
able to solve it? Thanks.
