YES - have removed old versions of the external
YES - have double-checked that revBrowser.bundle is in the application  
package
Did a test button in a substack. No results at runtime. - are making  
sure that any execution errors are properly displayed in a dialog   
while running a standalone
YES - are running OSX 10.5.4
- have made sure that the externalPackages of stack  
"revExternalLibrary" contains "revBrowser" while running as a standalone
- have checked that the externals property of stack  
"revExternalLibrary" contains something like  "/Users/Tom/Desktop/Test/ 
MacOSX/Test.app/Contents/MacOS/Externals/revbrowser.bundle" and on  
Windows it contains "C:/Documents and Settings/Tom/Desktop/Test/ 
Windows/Externals/revbrowser.dll"
- have made sure that the folder/file stated above actually exists and  
the standalone checks this using syntax like "file... exists" or  
"folder... exists" and the standalone shows an error message if the  
file/folder doesn't exist
YES - have made sure that the rect property of the browser object is  
set to an area that is visible on the card
- have double-checked this rect and your standalone displays it in a  
field or dialog window after you have set the rect of the browser object
- have checked that the revBrowserGet function returns the correct  
rectangle
NO Stack is a custom window shape - aren't using any custom window  
shapes
- have created an otherwise empty stack, which displays a website in a  
browser object correctly while running as a standalone on both OSX and  
Windows
- did not put your standalone at root level but it sits in a folder

What made you think that copying revBrowser.bundle to the root level  
of the DVD would help?
Actually it was the opposite. In a previous Windows project from DVD  
the externals would not load if they were at the root level so I had  
to put them in a sub folder and change the path in only the windows  
version to look deeper. So I tried putting the external in both places  
during trials. But I can't get the Mac version to find the  
MacrevBrowser which is 'inside'' the darned thing. So if I can fix  
that then I can look at the windows version.
