When I have run into this problem I have solved it by including this  
in the stack script of your mainstack (the stack you are using to  
create the standalone):

  on closeStack
    if the short name of this stack is the name of me then
      quit
     end if
  end closeStack

This sends a quit message whenever the mainstack is closed, or in the  
case of a standalone, whenever the "engine" stack is closed.
