resizeable stack, with one button and script:
on mouseUp
beep
end mouseUp
Save, create a standalone and see if it is resizeable in Win.
if (resizeable = false) then
clearly some setting somewhere is incorrect
Win users can make resizeable stacks
track the incorrect setting down
it may be a stack setting or a standalone builder setting
get this simple stack to resize in Win
remove all your workarounds in your recipe stack
set the settings as above
else
clearly your workarounds are not required
remove them ALL
messages are probably being lost
in your recipe stack
insert multiple "answer" dialogs throughout scripts
ie answer "Step 1", answer "Step 2", answer "Step 3"
good locations would be at the beginning & end of any
preOpenStack
preOpenCard
OpenStack
OpenCard scripts
build as standalone
for the Win build
track down where the stack skips or doesn't answer
this is probably where the Win build is going wrong
check the docs, you may be using a Mac only feature
fix as necessary
end if
Aaahhh, sorry, natural language scripting can be addictive ;-)
