Geoff,

Keep in mind that script only stacks that are loaded into memory by the
engine because they are referenced in the stackfiles of another stack won’t
be sent any messages.

You have to complete the behavior chain in the openStack handler of the
stack that is being opened. I think in your case you would process the
openStack message in the stack you are setting the stackFiles on.
