yes, the remove would need to look like this:
on remove me
if objectP(pSpecialTimer) then
timeOut("theName").forget()
end if
end remove
using the name you defined earlier.
very interesting idea though. it won't crash if the handler name doesn't
exist, but i didn't realize that would keep the object that it's
referencing. that sounds like it could be pretty powerful...
