Coming from Scotland, on going to the USA (1993) I learnt about Hypercard
and what a 'pancake stack' was simultaneously. I Scotland we tend to eat
our drop scones individually. I have always thought of a

The only real reason I can see for using a custom property as opposed

Hi Sivakatirswami,
What OS are you seeing this issue in? Where on the drive is the standalone
sitting? Also, would you change the *this stack* reference to something more
specific such as *the owner of this card* or better *stack StackName* and
report if there is any difference?

The first issue seems another bug to me. You should probably report it

The second issue is just a restoration of the situation that of Rev

Hi Sivakatirswami,
Don't make the stack part of your standalone build. Rather, go or go
invisible to the stack from the preOpenStack of the splash stack in your
standalone. Doing this sets the filename of the stack. Then you can save it.
When you go to the stack, use a fully qualified path. So,
Sarah, others may know better, but I think you'll find this difficult
to do. The way one might do this in a stack would be to import both
images, then get the imageData of each, and join them up.
The imageData is actually just a list of pixel values as they are
rendered by rev. Typically,

Well it seems to kniow about the templateImage, because it can get
