You ask the user to select a folder, then hand the name of the folder 
to "save stack" as if you want to give your stack file the name of the 
folder.

Hmm..  yeah, my bad.  According to the docs, it looks like Rev will 
allow a script with at most 10 statements to be assigned to an object 
within a standalone.  So as long as the script you are trying to assign 
has no more than 10 statements, this might not be a problem.  (See the 
'script' and 'scriptLimits' documentation for details on this).

As for the error, it can't open the stack file because the specified 
name is that of a folder, which exists and does not want to be 
overwritten by a file.

I think you want "ask file" in place of "answer folder":

ask file "Save stack as:"

instead of:

answer folder " "
