Description

Handle the deleteImage message if you want to perform cleanup before an image is removed from the stack.

The actual deletion is not triggered by the deleteImage message, so trapping the message and not allowing it to pass does not prevent the image from being removed.

However, the undo command will restore an image after it is deleted by the user. For example, the following handler, placed in a card or stack script, effectively prevents an image from being deleted by the user:

on deleteImage
    beep
    send "undo" to this card in 5 milliseconds
end deleteImage
