Indeed. You need to explicitly forget the MIAW.
It's a bit more involved than it appears. You can't have the MIAW forget
itself, and you can't tell the stage to forget the MIAW. Both are calls
the MIAW makes, and a call must return. When it tries to return, though,
the MIAW is gone. *Kablooie* is the technical term for what happens
next.
One method a lot of people use is to have a global in the stage movie,
something like this.
global gCloseMiaw
on prepareMovie
gCloseMIAW = FALSE
yada yada
End
Then in a periodical, like a frame handler:
global gCloseMiaw
on exitFrame
if gCloseMiaw = TRUE then
close gMQTWin
forget gMQTWin
gCloseMiaw = FALSE
end if
end
Then your MIAW would cause itself to be closed with something like this:
tell the stage
gCloseMiaw = TRUE
end tell
I actually use a little different method so I'm not stuck with a frame
handler. Here's the way I do it:
global gMIAWTimeOut
on CloseModalDLOG gOkPressed
if not voidP(window gMQTWin) then
-- always assign a timeout to a variable
-- or you'll get a memory leak
gMIAWTimeOut = timeOut(gMiawName).new(50, #mForgetWindow, VOID)
end if
end
on mForgetWindow
lWindowName = gMIAWTimeOut .name
if not voidP(window lWindowName) then
window(lWindowName).forget()
gMiawName = VOID
end if
gMIAWTimeOut .target = VOID
gMIAWTimeOut .forget()
gMIAWTimeOut = VOID
end
Hope that helps.
Cordially,
