WAY too many players on the stack!`

Actually, I clicked on the Tools menu and created the Player that way, 
but I only did it once.

When I want to open (play) a new file (music/video), I do the following:

===
  if the QTVersion is "0.0" then
    answer "Apple's QuickTime must be installed for this program to work 
correctly!"
    exit mouseUp
  end if
  answer file "Select a file" with filter "Sound Files, *.MP3, Movie 
Files, *.MPG"
  if it = empty then exit mouseUp
  set the fileName of player "myPlayer" to it
  set the looping of player "myPlayer" to true
  set the playselection of player "myPlayer" to false
  set the playrate of player "myPlayer" to 1
  set the playloudness of player "myPlayer" to 100
  send "mouseUp" to button "PlayButton"
===

PlayButton does this:

===
   local i
  Set the StartValue of the scrollBar "myProgressBar" to 0
  set the EndValue of the scrollBar "myProgressBar" to the duration of 
player "myPlayer"
  set the thumbPosition of the scrolLBar "myProgressBar" to the 
currentTime of player "myPlayer"
  
  start player "myPlayer"
