Re: Digital video control buttons

When you start to have a complex movie, it's harder to track which sprite visibility has been turned ON or OFF. Once you set it off, the entire sprite span is set to OFF unless you turn it back ON at some point. It's better to just move it offstage and bring it back when you need it. Martha --

Thanks Dave, i used gOpenMiaw because i have 3 other MIAWs open from other buttons. This is to keep reference to which MIAW is to close when the 'close' button is pressed. I've tried the code you gave me, but still doesnt work. I use 'put ' command to check which MIAW window it's refering to,

Thanks for letting me know :) I didnt realize it. I learned it from the book and it never gives me any problems. But really, thanks for the tip. - With respect, this is NOT the way to close a MIAW. It will lead to crashes. A better method is to set a flag which triggers the close and forge
