Every property of every object in every stack on your hard drive is 
available to every script.

An object does no need to be loaded into memory to be accessed.  If you 
query a property of an object in an unopened stack, the engine will 
faithfully read the stack and unpack it to return what you're requesting.

If the stack is already in memory, you can refer to it by short name.

   get the width of btn 1 of stack "MyStack"

In memory or not, you can refer to a stack by its filename:

   get the width of btn 1 of stack "/home/klaus/MyStack.livecode"

When a stack file is included among the stackfiles property of an open 
stack, you should be able to address it by short name if you like.
