Asynchronous programming
Using an actorList event to remove an object
If you click on the lower button, the event #deleteMe is sent to the actorList. The Set Color and Text instance receives
the #deleteMe call first, and uses it to remove itself from the actorList. There are now only two objects remaining on
the actorList, but Director considers that it has already sent the #deleteMe call to the first item on the list. For this
reason, the event is never sent to the Rotate Text behavior. Instead, it is sent immediately to the second item on the list;
the Just Delete Me script deletes itself from the actorList, but the text sprite continues to rotate.
The same effect will occur if you use a #stepFrame event to remove an object from the actorList. If there is only one
object on the actorList, or if it is not a problem if the next object misses a #stepFrame event, then you do not need to
do anything special. If you want to be sure that all objects on the actorList receive a #stepFrame event in all
circumstances, then you can use the handler below:
on RemoveFromActorList(aInstance)
vIndex = (the actorList).getPos(aInstance)
if not vIndex then
exit
end if
(the actorList).deleteAt(vIndex)
if vIndex
