That's shouldn't happen. As long as the creator of the stack files is the
same creator as the app, it should work. I created in MC 2.4.2 (which should
work the same as Rev) a brand new stack which had only this code:

on appleEvent eClass,eId,eSender
  answer "Class = " & eClass
  answer "ID = " & eID
  answer "Sender = " & eSender
  request appleEvent data
  answer "Data = " & it
  pass appleEvent
end appleEvent

I then made sure to move the Answer dialog to my stack so I could see
results. (Critical step! :-) I then created a standalone with a creator of
"TEST". Next, I opened a new stack and saved it immediately under then name
"Dummy" and set the stackFileType to "TESTMSTK" and saved it.

Then I dragged the Dummy stack on top of the Test application. It ran and
answered this:

Class = aevt
ID = odoc
Sender = *::MacOS
Data = /Enterprise/Desktop Folder/Dummy

Same thing happened when I double-clicked Dummy.

Can you try something like this and see what you get?
