Klaus, Alex, et al:

I was under the impression from the get-go that one could not set the 
script of any object from the standalone engine.

I recall a conversation with Kevin about being able to correct 
scripting errors by creating an update stack that would replace 
scripts in other stacks.  My recollection was Kevin said one could 
replace a control with an updated control; but one could not, via the 
standalone engine, change the script of a control.

Does the 10-line max come into play in "set the script of this 
stack...", Jan?  Even if that is the case, it still makes it possible 
for an update stack to modify any handler not physically in the 
standalone flash screen (assuming all handlers > 10 lines could be in 
a library which can be replaced en mass).
