card script can't see stack script?! (solved - thanks)

[Eric Engle]

I want to thank Rob Cozens (sp?) for his tips; basically this appears to have
been due to a system error or a syntax error in the parent scripts (i.e. at the
stack or more likely card script). Some lines parsed properly in hypercard, not
in revolution.

I thought it might have been memory leakage or some other arcane os problem.
However I had already cold booted to test for this before writing the list.

I'm fairly sure it must have been a syntax error due to an ommitted quotation
mark in a string - the card script had lots of string variables.

Anyway, the problem is solved: I would have written quicker to say "don't
bother answering" but figured it was too late. Anyway I needed a nights rest to
re-read the card script to check for any syntax errors. 

The only other possibility would have been "orphan code". when I have an old
handler I've modified I sometimes keep the old code so:

on mouseup
  newCode
end mouseup

oldcode
moreoldcode

the old code not being in a handler doesn't bother hypercard - though in
metacard it sometimes generates error messages. I presume it does not execute
at runtime since the oldcode is no longer in a handler.

Anyway - thanks!
