How to Discontinue Processing in Response to MsgBox?

Greetings All,

My question is,

  • How do I stop further processing in response to a particular returned MsgBox value?
  • I have placed a MsgBox script on the change event of a drop-down box.
  • Depending on the return value, I don't want subsequent events for the drop-down box to fire (like the scripts on its exit event)
  • I also want the entire form ready for the next interaction by the user (not locked-down)
  • Is there is a way to get the processing to "break" and not fire subsequent  events that are already triggered and waiting their turn to execute?

Thanks,

Stephen

I found an ugly workaround for 'Is there is a way to get the processing to "break" ' inside an event.  See http://forums.adobe.com/message/5366688. If you know a better way by now, please reply to that link.

However, you will still need to find out how to kill existing events that have not fired yet but are scheduled.

Hope that helps a little,

Wolfgang
