It's amazing how often this comes up! Where is the script that closes &
forgets the window? Is it in the window itself, or is it in the stage's
cast?
If it's in the window then there's your problem already - you can't have a
window forget() itself. If it's in the stage, then your still not in the
clear - if some handler in the window is asking the stage script to forget
the window then that is where your problem is. The originating call cannot
come from anywhere in the window or it will crash - periodically.
Here is a couple of scripts that are tested and work - courtesy of Jakob
Hede Madsen:
--------<movie script>--------
on closeWindow
script("miawCloserClass").new(the activeWindow)
end
--------</movie script>--------
--------<parent script "miawCloserClass">--------
--miawCloserClass
property pWindow
on new me, aWindow
pWindow = aWindow
pWindow.forget()
tell the stage to t = timeOut(me.string).new(0, #dummy , me)
end
on exitFrame me, aTimer
aTimer.forget()
end
--------</parent script "miawCloserClass">--------
Put the parent script into your MIAW's cast and instantiate it when needed,
not necessarily from the 'closeWindow' handler as in the <movie script>.
