Iconify . . .

Just uploaded an annoying little stack:

http://andregarzia.on-rev.com/richmond/STUFF/ICONISER.rev.zip

the card of which contains the following:

on mouseUp
    set the iconic of stack "ICONISER" to true
end mouseUp

on unIconifyStack
    set the iconic of stack "ICONISER" to true
end unIconifyStack

the idea WAS to make a stack that would sit in the Mac OS X dock and 
never come out . . .

no joy there,

SO, ended up with a stack that dances back and forth like a RunRev stack 
full to the
gills with some nasty narcotic . . .  :)

Questions for mages:

1. Why does the stack re-emerge from the Dock when its minimised icon is 
clicked? Presumably
      because this is an action handled by the Dock rather than the stack.

[Windows users can also become annoyed with a similar effect in the taskbar]

2. Why does the second script cause the stack to iconofy, uniconify and
     then iconify again when LOGIC (ha, ha, ha) tells me this should 
only happen once?
