copying from password protected substacks

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Richard,

You can't copy controls from password protected stacks, because that 
would allow you to paste controls on unprotected stacks and read the 
scripts.

The solution is to create controls in an unprotected stack without 
scripts and set the parentScript of these controls to a button with a 
script on a password protected stack.

I do this in my software Strõm, which copies the new components for a 
flow diagram from an unprotected stack, but has all its scripts 
protected by passwords.
