Help: script works fine in dev not in standalone

[Emilio Gagliardi]

Hi all,

I've run into a weird problem I'm not sure how to search the archives  
for.
I have a parent stack that loads a sub stack.  I need to have data  
pass between them so I used the following command to open the child  
from the parent:

go to stack "/root/folder/child_stack.rev" as toplevel

In development mode, this code works fine and the code in  
child_stack.rev runs as expected.  However, when I compile these .REV  
files to standalone apps, the code in the child_stack doesn't work.

The code in the child_stack is simple.  I create a set of buttons  
with mouseMove/mouseUp commands so that they can be dragged around  
the screen.  I'm attaching the code in the buttons if that helps.   
The behavior in standalone mode is that everything is visible, but  
the mouseMove doesn't seem to fire.  Also, the ctrl+shift+option key  
command doesn't seem to work either.

I guess this leads to a more general question, one that i asked a few  
days ago, but obviously didn't quite figure out, and that is, I need  
an application to load sub stacks.  I need the sub stack to perform  
some non-interruptible task, and then pass control back to the parent  
stack.  They need to share data.  is it silly to compile the parent  
stack and leave all sub stacks as .rev files?

any advice is appreciated.
