I get to say it:
There are usually several ways to support a given activity in MC. Here's
one: You can set the card dimensions to those of the screen:
on openStack
set the rect of this stack to the screenRect
end openStack
If you do it this way, you may find it easiest to put all the controls
into one group and recenter the group after resizing the card:
on resizeStack
set the loc of group "everything" to the screenLoc
pass resizeStack
end resizeStack
Another way would be:
on openStack
set the backdrop to the effective backColor of this stack
set the decorations of this stack to empty
set the loc of this stack to the screenLoc
end openStack

In the stack script, put:
on rawKeyDown pKeyValue
if pKeyValue <> 65388 then pass rawKeyDown
end rawKeyDown
