I've had Revolution Studio for over a year but only now am trying to use it more steadly. So, here's what I need help with right now.

Andre, I opened the stack with Media, but no luck. However, I created a new stack and it worked (the short one). It seems obvious that the problem is in the stack.  However, I  converted the same stack to Supercard and that same script (the long one) works in SC, as well as in Hypercard. I did a search for arrowKey in the search box and found it only  once, in the stack script.
