Hi Tiemo, 'closeStackRequest' and 'closeStack' are messages, not commands. This means you cannot send a 'closeStackRequest' any more than you can send a 'closeStack'. You can only 'close' a stack.
A stack will always get a 'closeStack' message, but if the user clicks the red closebox the stack will also get a 'closeStackRequest' message first. This means that when the user clicks the red closeBox, a closeStackRequest message is sent followed by a closeStack message. Lastly, you have to 'pass closeStackRequest' to continue with the close. This is so you can optionally change your mind. This means you can stop a closeStackRequest, but you cannot stop a closeStack. To handle both a scripted close and a red-cross close, place your closing routine into a shared handler and trap wheter the routine has already been run (otherwise you will get it twice when the user clicks the red closebox)... on mouseUp close this stack end mouseUp local isClosing on closeStackRequest answer "Are you sure?" with "Yes" or "No" if it <> "yes" then exit closeStackRequest put "true" into isClosing doMyCloseStackStuff pass closeStackRequest end closeStackRequest on closeStack if isClosing <> "true" then doMyCloseStackStuff end closeStack on doMyCloseStackStuff [../..] end doMyCloseStackStuff I have scripted the above so you can see what happens. Personally, I would put the trap in the doMyCloseStuff handler thus... on doMyCloseStackStuff if isClosing = "TRUE" then exit doMyCloseStuff else put "TRUE" into isClosing [../..] end doMyCloseStackStuff Hope this helps. /H Hello again, sometimes the basics are the hardest :) I want to be able to close my stack by the standard "red cross" AND also by one of my self made menu items "Close". Using "on closeStackRequest" traps the standard closing by the cross and after answering "yes" the stack closes. BUT sending "closeStackRequest" from my menu and answering "yes", nothing happens. But always when picking a second time the close menu and answering "yes" the stack closes. Using "close myStack" in my menu didn't worked as expected either (as posted before) So what is the straight forward way to close from the title bar and a self made menu with an answer trap?
