Rick, The problem is that on OS X, the "filename of this stack" when run from a standalone points to the engine file (which is in the application bundle folder in Contents/MacOS. So if your stack was named "MyApp.mc" and you made a standalone, the app would look like "MyApp.app", but *inside* that bundle is the actual engine file at MyApp.app/Contents/MacOS/MetaCard (or something like that).
So you'll need to adjust your path accordingly. There's a tip about it here: http://www.sonsothunder.com/devres/revolution/revolution.htm?_file008 HTH, Ken Ray Sons of Thunder Software Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web Site: http://www.sonsothunder.com/ > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rick Rice > Sent: Friday, June 25, 2004 7:38 PM > To: metacard list > Subject: image display > > > I'm using metacard 2.4.3, Mac OS X > I use the following script to display an image; > > on showtheimage > global questioncard, answer, question > set itemdel to "/" > put item 1 of questioncard into question > put item 2 of questioncard into answer > put the filename of this stack into stackpath > put "simple/"&question into the last item of stackpath > set the filename of image 1 of cd "displayimage" to stackpath > go card "displayimage" > end showtheimage > > All is fine until I create a standalone file.
