anyway to make a field or button delete itself

[kcwvc52]

I have tried to create and external button and make it wait 30 ticks but it just seems like livecode has no way of allowing a single field or button to delete itself. it throws an error and says that the script is still executing but i do not care all the important stuff is done and i want it to delete itself.

Hi,

Code: Select all

// stack script:
on deleteObject theObject
  delete theObject
end deleteObject

// object script:
on deleteMe
  put the long id of me into myObject
  send "delete myObject" to this stack in 0 millisecs
end deleteMe

Best,

Mark
