Delete and object from script within the object?

[Sean Cole (Pi)]

Hi Bill

Have the delete message on your stack script and use 'send "deleteTheImage
myImage" to this stack in 0 sec'. This will then wait until the current
message path has completed and then run the deleteTheImage command. That
way there will be no more scripts running that will stop it deleting.

Hope this helps
