Hi Yo,
Put this in the movieScipt of the movie your are using as the MIAW
--------
on stopMovie
closeWindow
end stopMovie
on closeWindow
tell the stage to set the windowList = []
end closeWindow
---
This will close all windows in the windowList - if you don't want that to
happen, target the window you want to close only.
ie -- tell the stage to close window "MIAW_a"
in place of
tell the stage to set the windowList = []
--for the second question look in the Lingo Dictionary under windowType
ie -
set the windowType of window "theMIAW" to 2
>From there you can do all kinds of cool stuff - as I am sure you know
already.
Have a good one, Steve
