Re: Is it normal to not be able to set script of objects in an encrypted stack?
Hey Mike, Good thinking that is indeed a great idea for workaround for this problem. Thank you, will put that in my back pocket for the future. Happy New Year everyone!!!

Re: Is it normal to not be able to set script of objects in an encrypted stack?
Glad you solved it, but as long as we're throwing ideas around, you should be able to have a script of a button use do, so you really can have it do anything. You would just put the script into a variable, make the variable global, and have the button do the variable.

Hey guys, while this is interesting to know and think about . i solved my problem by not needing to set the script.

RE: Is it normal to not be able to set script of objects in an encrypted stack?
I thought for a standalone if you "set the passKey of stack "x" to "y" you will be able to modify scripts. This will only be in ram. If your standalone saves the stack then do "set the password of stack to "y" before saving. If someone is scraping ram memory then you have a problem, but if someone is scraping memory you have bigger problems.

Re: Is it normal to not be able to set script of objects in an encrypted stack?
I would hope that would be the behavior. It would also make it harder for your stack to get borked by someone else. If I was trying to break that behavior I would try to put the code into a variable, encrypt the variable using the password, then set the script of the object to the encrypted version, although I don't know what algorithm LC is using.

Is it normal to not be able to set script of objects in an encrypted stack?
Hi Folks, Today I found out that if I put a password on my stack, any code that sets the script of an object in that stack receives an execution error when running as standalone. Why is this so? And is there a workaround?
