Hi John
Don't have the MIAW close itself, rather have it tell the stage to set
either a global or in D8+ a timeout object that can do the close at some
short distance in the future. You need to finish the tell command in its
entirety including the call back by the stage to the MIAW as it passes back
up the heirachy
ie.
on mouseDown
-> tell the stage to forget MIAW
-> THE STAGE -> forget the window
-> THE STAGE tells the MIAW okay I've executed your command ->
NO MIAW to
get callback -> fatal error
so in D7 or below you would do
tell the stage to mCloseSomeWindow, someWindowName
in the stageMovie
on mCloseSomeWindow someWindowName
gCloseWindow = someWindowName
end mCloseSomeWindow
on exitFrame
if gCloseWindow <> VOID then
window( gCloseWindow ).forget()
gCloseWindow = VOID
end if
end exitFrame
where you would put the monitoring variable into every frame script where
the window in question would appear and then monitor it on exitFrame and
when it isn't void, close the window
Hope that helps
Sincerely
Mark R. Jonkman
