Pointer tool in a standalone

For some reason, the pointer tool works perfectly in development but not in 
a standalone.
 In a project of mine, the user needs to resize and move graphics on the 
screen. I could have manually coded this using mouseUp and mouseDown, but 
Revolution has a built-in way to do this: the pointer tool. So what I do is 
set the tool to "pointer tool." Then the user can move around graphics, and 
it works perfectly. (I use the cantselect property to ensure the user 
doesn't move around something that should stay.)
 This method works well in the development, even when "Suspend development 
tools" is on. However, when the program is made into a standalone, it 
doesn't work. Setting the tool to pointer yields the pointer cursor, but no 
graphics can be selected, even those with cantselect set to false. I think 
this used to work before. (The cantmodify of the stack is false and so 
editing should be possible.)
