Dictionary has stopped working

[Joe Lewis Wilkins]

Thanks Jacque, I figured it had to be something like that, but your suggestions are a big help. Methinks this whole method of handling menus should be reanalyzed and made a bit easier. I know this is tough, but this situation is a major hurdle for us coders to overcome. Come to think of it, I guess we people have memory leaks just like computers. Hmn! It makes things a bit jumpy, but I stabilized the cards by setting the size in an open Card handler on the Stack Scripts. I'm hoping that this will not even be noticeable in the standalones. We'll see.

Also, uncheck the destroystack property in the stack inspector, there was a bug in the engine that caused stacks with menubars to shrink when building standalones if that was turned on in some cases.
