closing and opening MIAWS

[aoninja webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

im new to director and im having problems with this project im working on. i have a main stage, with 3 miaw's coming off it. all the controls to the miaw's are on the main stage. ive done everything except figure out how to have the same hotspots on the main stage that open the miaw's, close the miaw's when desired. this is going to be a game, so when u close the miaw's i want the same data to be there when I had it opened up before.
heres an example of one of my hotspots. my main stage is called "main"
"command" is the miaw. any help would be great. :D

global newWindow
on mouseUp me
set newWindow to window "command"
set newWindow.rect to rect (the stageleft, (the stageTop - 350), the stageRight,the stagetop)
set newWindow.filename to "command"
set newWindow.titleVisible to FALSE
open newWindow
puppetsound 1, "beep"
window("command").moveToBack()
end

You just want to toggle the window??

> global newWindow
> on mouseUp me

if getpos(the windowlist, window "command") then -- added code
forget window "command"
else -- your open code

end if

> end

Not sure what

i want the same data to be there when I had it opened up before.

is about


You might store the rect of a miaw just before closing so you can make
it appear in same spot when reopened.

im not sure what you mean by toggle, but ok..theres going to be a main window with a map and other things to move your troops on, cause its gonna be a war game. so sometimes people want to close the map window or the other windows that display infomation when playing the game. so i dunno. i tried that code, but now when i click the command hotspot, nothing happens...?..i dunno. and the other question of same data as before, like if your in the middle of a game and close your battle window, i want it so when i click back to the window the same thing will be there as before, like that certain turn or whatever..i dunno if i have to do that or not, maybe it automatically goes back to where the game left off.?...ok thanks.
