standalone is crashing on Mac OS 8.0

[kweto]

Hello,   I've a relatively simple stack for creating illustrated bingo-cards. The problem is that, though it runs fine under Mac OS8.0 as a stack and also under Windows as both a stack and a standalone, it continually crashes the system when it runs as a standalone on Mac OS 8.0. Specifically, the crash happens while the script is setting the fileNames of the 25 image objects, laid out in a 5x5 grid; after the 10th or so image objects has been successfully loaded with an image (jpg or gif), the image-object that comes immediately after the last image that successfully loaded will remain empty (blank) and, instead, I can literally hear the computer's HD grinding into some kind of looped sound, which, after a few seconds, stops and then everything on-screen freezes.   Perhaps a memory issue? But, if so, why would it work as a stack but not as a standalone? And, just in case, I tried setting the stack's buffer to both "always on" and "always off". No go with either.   Thank you.   Nicolas Cueto
