Button to stop a repeating script?

[Bob Sneidar]

That is easy.

1. Declare a global in your stack script outside any handler so it is  
available to all handlers in the Stack Script.

2. Initialize it to false in your on openStack handler.

3. Declare the global in your button script or else have the button  
call a handler in your stack script that does the work.

4. Have the mouseUp handler (or whatever script you call) set the  
value of the global to true.

5. Have your endless loop check for this value before each iteration,  
and bail out when it is true, setting the value back to false before  
it does.

Pretty basic stuff.
