Halt script in progress...


  • Subject: Halt script in progress...

I have an AS Studio app that repeats through a large folder processing
images which can take several hours. The user selects a source folder and a
destination folder. I9ve put a 3Stop2 button into my interface so if they
change their mind and want to perform another task in the program, or change
either folder paths and start over. If they click on this button a display
dialog appears pausing the process. How do I tell the entirely separate
repeat loop from a different handler to just stop doing it9s thing? Can it
be done? I9ve tried inserting an error -1289, but nothing happens.

I also want to change my cursor to a command-.9 (ala Filemaker, including
the symbol for the command key) to indicate the user can stop the process
with this keystroke. Can I change the cursor to this (if so, how)?

Matt
