I think part of the problem is that your scripts are "blocking". Rev is not multitasking really, but it can be simulated using "with messages".

Can you put a script in the button that would just print some text to the msg box? Test it without the script running. Then try it with the script running.
if it doesn't print, then it's blocking.

cmd-period isn't something you want an end user to use from a button, usually.

anyway, you could probably make this work, but you'd have to rewrite stuff.
check out the 'Message Mechanics' stack for an explanation. (somebody help me here).

Thanks Steve, but I couldn't get your suggestion to work. Sounded like a good idea, though. Here's an example of what I'd like to have happen.

Script of btn 1:

on mouseup
  repeat with i = 1 to 10000
     put i
     if i = 200 then tryit
  end repeat
end mouseup

on tryit
   ---do something here that stops the repeat loop from running
end tryit

Here's the tough part... I can't know in advance where the running script is originating. I simply know something is running somewhere in my stack, and whatever it is, I want to abort it via script control.

Thanks.
Richard
