Help: script works fine in dev not in standalone

Hi Bob,

OK there may be a fielpath problem in the standalone. Does the
child_stack.rev open?
Yup, the child_stack opens fine, the problem is that the buttons  
don't move.

I am creating the file path dynamically

 >To move the buttons around the screen simply use
Yeah, the problem isn't that I didn't have code to move the buttons,  
rather, when I compile the .rev file the buttons no longer functioned  
as they had when I created them in development.

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.

Yeah this is exactly what i'm doing. :)  I create an array in the  
parent:
global settings["someVar"]
and then create a global variable of the same name in the child:
global settings

If I open a stack from within a standalone application, does it  
matter whether the second stack is compiled or not?  what are the  
primary differences between opening a compiled or non-compiled stack  
as a sub stack?

Again, thanks for your input.
