Jan,

I tried it and it failed (the IDE locked up)...then I added the obvious (exit to top). And, just to make sure things were back where they're supposed to be, I added "set allowInterrupts to true". Badda-bing! That did it!

Though not a biggie, I'm still struggling with understanding the logic: set allowInterrupts to false = allow the user to interrupt. Sounds backwards to me. :-D

Thanks!

on mouseUp
 put empty into msg
 set the allowInterrupts to false
 repeat
   if the interrupt
   then cleanThisUp
   else add 1 to msg
 end repeat
end mouseUp

on cleanThisUp
 put "I'm interrupted" into msg
 set the allowInterrupts to true
 exit to top
end cleanThisUp


Best Regards,


Tim Ponn

Hello all,

There are a few places in my app where it would be
nice if the user could use a "command-period" interrupt to gracefully
stop my scripts. So, in playing around, I tried this as a starting
point in a new button:


on mouseUp
 repeat
   if the interrupt then cleanThisUp else add 1 to
msg
 end repeat
end mouseUp

on cleanThisUp
 put "I'm interrupted" into msg
end cleanThisUp

It does, indeed, stop the script, but always with an
error...and I never see the final message in the msg box. This is
happening in Rev 2.0.3 IDE on my Mac (OS9.2.2), but must also work in the
standalones when completed.


What am I missing?

Thanks in advance for any help you can lend!

Best Regards,

Tim Ponn





Hi Tim,


The way I read the docs, you should set the local
property allowInterrupts to false before going into
the repeat loop. So the script should look something
like :
--
on mouseUp
 set the allowInterrupts to false
 repeat
   if the interrupt
   then cleanThisUp
   else add 1 to msg
 end repeat
end mouseUp

on cleanThisUp
 put "I'm interrupted" into msg
end cleanThisUp
--

A quick test revealed this to work on my Windows
machine. So I hope this helped,

Jan Schenkel.
