stuck in endless loop with File.openDialog

[Byron Nash]

I'm experiencing a new issue for me. One I have never run across in using this same function over the years. I'm using a line like this to locate a file.

var itemOut =  new File.openDialog(editText.text,"", false);

For some reason though, after I select the file, it pops up another dialog and won't ever quit popping another one up after I click OK. I'm running the scripts from the ESTK with AE 12.2.

I think it could be something to do with my UI panel. If I make a simple test script, it doesn't fail. But in my main script it does. Here is  snippet of the code where I'm calling the function and prompt.

            dlg = new Window(alertBuilderResource);

            dlg.locPnl.dataFile.locBtn.onClick = function(){findSomething("file", dlg.locPnl.dataFile.et)};

           return dlg

            }

function findSomething(itemType, editText){

     if(itemType == "file"){

          var itemOut =  new File.openDialog(editText.text,"", false);

          alert(itemOut.name);

          }else{

          var itemOut =  new Folder.selectDialog(stringPrompt);         

         }

        if(itemOut){

        $.writeln(itemOut.toString());

        editText.text = itemOut.toString().replace(/%20/g," ");

        }else{

         var itemOut = "there was an error, please try again";  

         }

        return itemOut

     }
