I'm working in MX for OS X, and I had a working movie with timeouts, until I opened a MIAW. With the MIAW open, I'm finding that neither "the timeoutscript" nor "on timeout" are functioning. I'm watching "the timeoutLapsed" and it just keeps on counting, right past the timeoutLength where the event should be triggered.
Is this a known issue? If so, what is the most acceptable workaround?

Hi Adam,
Off the top of my head I think MIAW do indeed stop timeout scripts. But the idle handler still works, I use my idle handler to forget MIAW because they don't like calling handlers to forget themselves. Maybe check "the timeoutLapsed" in the idle handler and have that run your timeout script.
OK, yes that's exactly what I have right now, a conditional check of the TimeoutLapsed in the idle handler, which resets it to zero and calls my "myTimeout" handler. Unless there is an argument against this, it looks like the way to go.
