A check of "the result" immediately after the line that fails so you can 
find out what the engine's trying to tell you about how to fix it.

How to launch a stack from a file.

[Michael Doub]

I am trying to build a simple launcher app and I am stumped as to how to 
load a stack from a file.  I have no problem loading it from my dropbox, 
but not from a local file.


put 
/Users/mike/Library/Preferences/CueSheets/ridewithgps_cuesheets.livecode 
into localpath


none of the following work:

go stack localpath
go stack url ("binfile:" & localpath)
go stack url ("file:" & localpath)

I have also tryed the "in a new window" clause

What am I missing?

Thanks
   Mike

Obviously you are on Mac.
The first method should work. The other two not.
Hope you didn't forget the quotes around the path?

Thanks Richard,   The stack was corrupted.   I had saved it with file: 
rather than binfile: All is well now.Good to know about checking 
the result.
