Standalone build workaround

[Bob Sneidar]

Read my post, but yes if your handlers do something that can potentially interfere with the standalone builder running (like opening a stack modally) then things can get wiggy. You cannot simply suspend messages before building (as I understand it) because the standalone builder needs to send messages itself.

If this is true, then I agree with Richard that LiveCode has suddenly got a loss less attractive in its central function - the creation of software that runs on the developer’s chosen platform(s). Just tell me I’m wrong.
