Yes, this will happen, as you have so seen. The MIAW cannot tell the stage
to forget the MIAW while the MIAW is in the process of giving the command
to do so. Basically, you're pulling the rug out from under the feet of the
MIAW while it's in the middle of a call.
You can set up very elaborate object/timing stuff as has been mentioned,
but frankly I just do this in the MIAW:
global gWindowToKill
gWindowToKill =the activeWindow
And in the stage, in an idle handler or exit frame or whatever works for
your architecture:
on idle
global gWindowToKill
if (not voidP(gWindowToKill)) then
forget gWindowToKill
gWindowToKill =VOID
end if
end
Clean, little enough overhead, and works like a charm.
