Description
Window property; instructs Lingo to close and delete the window specified by whichWindow

command is given, the window and the movie in a window (MIAW) disappear without calling the on stopMovie
, on closeWindow
, or on deactivateWindow
handlers.
If there are many global references to the movie in a window, the window doesn't respond to the forget
command.
