hi guys,
in LC 9 it's not possible to delete a card, when an object script is execution. In LC 7 was that possible.

So, how can I find all scripts is execution (in the background) and how can I stop them?

On my stack I have a clock, which is show on all cards.
on moveTime
...
send "moveTime" to me in 999 milliseconds
end moveTime

The field with the time a part of a group, which is a shared group and behave like a background. There for I can't delete it with delete it for all other cards as well.

How can I solve this problem?

Hi.

In v. 8 a command to delete a card would be queued until a running handler ends. Likely in v9 as well.

But you are correct. In v7 the command could be executed while the handler was running.

Feature, hassle or bug?

If you think the clock is the problem, remove it before deleting the card. I assume it's placed on every card, so something like this:

Hi Jacque,
thats sounds very well. I found an other way by stoping the clock before and restart it after the deleting.

But I still can't understand why DELETE CARD in the IDE (Editor) delete the card, when the clock is still ticking, als the command DELETE THIS CARD can't do it (anymore). Tricky for beginners.

Best regards, Jens.

Your way is good too. I suspect the IDE is trying to make things "easier" for us by managing running scripts itself. The IDE uses frontscripts, which intercept messages before your own scripts get them.
