How do I forget popups every time it's closed?

Question

I tried using this:
on closeWindow
window(2).forget()
end
in the Director file of the pop up and it works if only one
pop up is opened at a time, but when multiple pop ups exist then it
will forget the 2nd popup that is opened. Is there a way to tell
the popup that has just been closed to forget itself?

You can use 'the activeWindow' to target the window in which
your code
is currently running:
on closeWindow
(the activeWindow).forget()
end
However, as Dave suggests this will eventually cause a crash
since you
are removing from RAM the file that is currently executing.
I use a parent script/child object and a timeout object
scoped to the
stage window to forget windows "safely":
-- parent script: window.closer.class
-- example usage (#movie script handler):
--on closeWindow
-- t =
script("window.closer.class").new(_player.activeWindow)
--end
property pWindow
on new me, aWindow
pWindow = aWindow
pWindow.forget()
t = window("stage").movie.timeOut().new(string(me), -1,
#mClose, me)
end
on mClose me, aTimer
aTimer.forget()
end
