Deleting button while executing it's script

[adventuresofgreg]

Hello: what is the best way to handle this? I need to delete a button from it's own script, but you can't delete an object whose script holds a currently executing handler.

Hi Greg,

handle the deletion in the card script, something like this:

Code: Select all

command delete_button tName
  if there is a btn tName then
     delete btn tName
  end if
end delete_button

In the button:

Code: Select all

on mouseup
   ## your stuff here
   put the short name of me into tName
   send "delete_button tName" to this cd in 1
end mouseup

Tested and works

Best

Klaus
