Standalones Not Working

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Steve,

Here are 18 Reasons Why Compiling with RunRev (LiveCode) May Fail: http://qery.us/pr (or rather, the solutions).

The cut-off at the bottom is connected to the menus and the destroyStack and destroyWindow properties. Try toggling those.

I bet that you have assigned your .edb files as stack files. LiveCode reads those and adds the .rev or .livecode extension if they don't have one. This problem should no longer occur if you add the files as normal files rather than stack files.

I’ll bet this is the problem.  Why would the standalone making process be putting .rev extensions on these data files?
