It is no big deal to produce your own player that saves modified stacks.

What you need:

- create a new stack
- create a button "open" with the script

"answer file "Plase select a stack" with filter "*.mc;*.rev"
   go to it"

- create a button "save" with a script

"put the short name of the topstack into Oldname
ask file "Please choose a new name for the stack! (extension mc will b 
added" with Oldname
put it into NewName
put Newname&".mc" into Newname
save stack Oldname as Newname"
 
- important: set the style of your player to "modeless"

"on preOpenStack
   if the short name of this stack is "my-player" then
     set the style of this stack to modeless
     set the loc of this stack to 200,170
   end if
end preopenstack"

Change the scripts accordingly if you prefer rev-stacks.

- And finally: produce a standalone.

That's all.-

You can find and download such an example of an elementary player for 
Metacard and Revolution stacks on my website:
