mainStack script:
on preOpenStack
put fileName of this stack into tFilePath
set the itemDel to "/"
put empty into last item of tFilePath
set the itemDel to comma
set the directory to tFilePath
end preOpenStack
All relative paths to images will now work relative to the directory that
your stack is in. (Note that you don't need to do this to find stacks by
relative path, only images, players, etc.).
