Its more complicated then that.
I have struggled with this before, it’s about "running a show" of events where
there is wait time and lock screen involved and the user want to quit in the
middle of a repeat loop
The following the repeat loop takes over the CPU, so a mouse down on a button
which triggers "StopShow". Which toggle the flag... Only fires at the end...
Year ago I remember someone mention that we need to "enter a little idle time"
into let messages "through the repeat".... but the method escapes me today.
global sConfigA,sHomeImageFile,sNarrativePlayFlag,sMainImage,sNextImage
command startNarrative
put path_Assets()& "img/siva-darshan/who-is-siva_1200x800.jpg" into
sHomeImageFile
put "true" into sNarrativePlayFlag
put the long id of img "homeStoryMainImage" of me into sMainImage
put randomDietyPhotos() into tPhotoList
repeat for each line pPath in tPhotoList
if sNarrativePlayFlag then
dispatch "loadNewImage" to me with pPath
--send "loadNewImage pPath" to me
wait for 1 seconds
else
put pendingMessages()
--loadNewImage sHomeImageFile
-- screen with visual effect "dissolve"
exit repeat
end if
end repeat
end startNarrative
command loadNewImage pPath
hide sMainImage with effect "dissolve" to black
lock screen
set the filename of sMainImage to pPath
setRectOfCurrentGrc sMainImage
put the loc of this card into tLoc
subtract 27 from item 2 of tLoc
resizeToHeight sMainImage,(the height of this card -58)
set the loc sMainImage to tLoc
unlock screen --with visual effect "dissolve"
show sMainImage with visual effect "dissolve"
end loadNewImage
command stopShow
loadNewImage sHomeImageFile
put "false" into sNarrativePlayFlag
end stopShow

Depending on the action the user might take, have you tried:
wait until the mouse is down
