Hi All...

I have a stack that reads a text file and puts that text in a card  
fld. It works in 4.0, but when I open the same stack in 4.5 LiveCode  
it does not work?


Here is the simple script:

on openStack
    put the defaultFolder into tFilePath
    open window "data" of stack "Data"
    put tFilePath&"/"&"imageData" into tTargetToOpen
    open file tTargetToOpen
    read from file tTargetToOpen until EOF
    put it into cd fld "data" of cd 1 of Stack "data"
end openStack


What am i missing here for this not to work in 4.5?

Thank you!
