Deleting yourself?

[richmond62]

Imagine a button called "B1" containing the script:

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
delete me
end mouseUp

This will NOT work, and generate the following error message:

Code: Select all

object's script is executing

This IS problematic as I wish to delete an object from inwith its own code if certain conditions are satisfied . . .

Yes, you can't delete an object while script is running inside it.

However, you can do this, you just need to send it as a function in x ticks/milliseconds/seconds
(demo stack attached)
Creates a button and deletes itself when you click the button.
