Hi Everyone,
Using MC 2.4.3 to build a standalone. I moved resources and followed
the steps in the standalone builder, but whenever I double-click the
standalone, it opens, its window appears for a fraction of a second,
and then disappears. What am I doing wrong?

I think I figured out why my icons keep reverting, for the stacks
that get distributed with the standalone, but are not part of it.
The standalone saves the stack frequently (that's the purpose of the
stack, to hold saved data). It occurred to me that while I
originally saved the stack with a
Question for Windows gurus:
Can metacard interact (and how) with an ActiveX control written in Visual
Basic 5.0?
I'm totally ignorant of what ActiveX is and does but like most of us here,
I am, therefore I learn or the other way around.

Thanks everyone for the flood of suggestions! Just got back from an
academic disaster and put your adive into practice pronto.

Dilemma:
The last bug holding this thing up from release:
The primary program is a substack inside a standalone, which I will
call substackA.
There is an external stack with a substack I will call substackB
The primary code is put into front and back scripts, and substackA
and mainstackA
Shari,
Is it possible to use start using on an external stack which has you
backscript code instead of using backscripts? Perhaps that might help.
It was my understanding that a standalone basically took the place of the
MetaCard application, so if you put up backscripts or frontscripts it

That seems unlikely to me, though there may really be a bug. But the
entire MetaCard UI itself is all frontscripts and backscripts, and it
doesn't act that

Problem here most likely is that you are trying to read the entire 300MB file into memory at once. Unless you have an extra 300MB block of RAM floating around, this will start beating on virtual memory pretty hard (and increasingly slow).
You'll notice that your non-MetaCard script reads one line

Also, maybe the stack isn't really resuming, so it never gets the
message. Maybe it is already the topstack, or when the first stack
is closed, a different one comes to the front instead of the one you
are expecting. Note that invisible stacks can still be frontmost,

Had a beta tester ask what the Metacard menu was for. She sent me

For some reason, in OSX, a menu entitled Metacard was inserted

I had tried send resumeStack to stack blahblah and focus on
