Re: How do I interrupt and cleanup gracefully?
Jan, I tried it and it failed (the IDE locked up)...then I added the obvious (exit to top). And, just to make sure things were back where they're supposed to be, I added "set allowInterrupts to true". Badda-bing! That did it! Though not a biggie, I'm still struggling with understanding the logic: set allowInterrupts to false = allow the user to interrupt. Sounds backwards to me. :-D Thanks! on mouseUp put empty into msg set the allowInterrupts to false repeat if the interrupt then cleanThisUp else add 1 to msg end repeat end mouseUp on cleanThisUp put "I'm interrupted" into msg set the allowInterrupts to true exit to top end cleanThisUp Best Regards, Tim Ponn Jan Schenkel wrote: --- "T.

Best Regards, Tim Ponn Hi Tim, The way I read the docs, you should set the local property allowInterrupts to false before going into the repeat loop. So the script should look something like : -- on mouseUp set the allowInterrupts to false repeat if the interrupt then cleanThisUp else add 1 to msg end repeat end mouseUp on cleanThisUp put "I'm interrupted" into msg end cleanThisUp -- A quick test revealed this to work on my Windows machine. So I hope this helped, Jan Schenkel. = "As we grow older, we grow both wiser and more foolish at the same time." (La Rochefoucauld) __ Do you Yahoo!? Protect your identity with Yahoo!

How do I interrupt and cleanup gracefully?
Hello all, There are a few places in my app where it would be nice if the user could use a "command-period" interrupt to gracefully stop my scripts. So, in playing around, I tried this as a starting point in a new button: on mouseUp repeat if the interrupt then cleanThisUp else add 1 to msg end repeat end mouseUp on cleanThisUp put "I'm interrupted" into msg end cleanThisUp It does, indeed, stop the script, but always with an error...and I never see the final message in the msg box. This is happening in Rev 2.0.3 IDE on my Mac (OS9.2.2), but must also work in the standalones when completed. What am I missing? Thanks in advance for any help you can lend!
