Hi Jasper,
I'm not sure if you want to close the stage or a MIAW.
If you want to close the projector then just use the halt command.
To close a MIAW you can use either forget the window(making a window forget
itself is not recommended).
To do a cleaner job of that is to create a global flag which indicates
whether the MIAW has to be open or closed. In the stage you could have a
script running on exitFrame which checks the value of that flag and when it
is TRUE, it should open the window or close it when it's FALSE. When you
wish to close the window, set the flag to FALSE from the MIAW. The script
on the stage will then forget the MIAW.
Your scripts might be lined in this order
-- Stage frame script
global gWindowName
global gWindowOpenFlag
on exitFrame me
if gWindowOpenFlag then
-- Make sure the window is not open so that it doesn't open
repeatedly
if NOT (the windowList.getPos(gWindowName)) then
gWindowName.open()
end if
else
-- Make sure the window is open before calling the forget command
on it
if (the windowList.getPos(gWindowName) then
gWindowName.forget()
end if
end if
end exitFrame me
-- The script for the button in the MIAW
global gWindowOpenFlag
on mouseUp me
gWindowOpenFlag = FALSE
end mouseUp me
Regards,
Pranav

does anyone know how to program a button in lingo, which closes the active
window where the movie is playing in?
