  AFTER EFFECTS terminate app.scheduleTask() on Panel close (NOT Window!).

  How to have action upon closing the Panel – is there some equivalent to window.onClose()?

  EDIT:
  OK, I kind of solved it indirectly: I am testing during every scheduleTask() cycle inside the called function with try/catch if there is still instance of the object (in my case ListBox) – if it throws error I know the dialog window was closed/is not present anymore (I just changed my mind and replaced canceling the task with “do nothing” instead as I need to run when there is the ListBox once again) BUT I still have one another issue which is Modal Dialog error coming into my way that is not catch by the try/catch: dose anyone know hot to get rid of the “Can not run a script while a modal dialog is waiting for response”?

  But I see no modal dialogs – there is nothing awaiting of anything, that message even does not show up until I manually close my panel and reopen it!

  And even stranger is the fact it only happens with a huge project(s) having like 850 active layers which take about 30 seconds to fully open, but with small projects there is no problem like this at all.
