Hi Michael,
2 ideas:
1) if you only want to block lingo generated alerts, not error alerts,
just put a
on alert
nothing
end
in some movie script of your miaw, which overwrites the alert command.
2) instead of changing the alerthook you could also have different
return values in your alerthook dependent on the presence of your miaw:
e.g.
on alertHook (me, msg, text, type)
if windowPresent("myMiaw") then
return 0
else
return 1
end if
end
Regards,
Valentin
