Delete this card command not working in LIvecode 5.5.3

[Eric Corbett]

You can not delete a control whose script is still running.

Try in the button:

on mouseUp
     local tID
     put the long I'd of this card into tID
     send "deleteMe tID" to me in 1 milliseconds
end mouseUp

Then put the deleteMe handler in the stack.
