OK ther emay be a fielpath problem in the standalone. Does the
child_stack.rev open?

If not you can create it dynamically.

To move the buttons around the screen simply use

on mouseDown
    if the controlKey is down then
      grab me
      end if
end mouseDown

No this is not silly, however, you may want to have some things declared as
"globals" in the standalone and then call the holder or function from the
.rev file. This could be one of the problems in the stack navigation.
