"revCopyFile" needs the "naked" pathname as parameter!
Try this:
...
## put "file:"&specialfolderpath("temporary")&slash into targetFile
put specialfolderpath("temporary")&slash into targetFile
revCopyFile myRemoteStackName, targetFile
...
Best

Re: copy a stack from dropbox to temp-folder (script)
My guess is that you need to use binfile instead of file, as a stack is binary.

Hi,
I’m trying to copy a file from my dropbox’s public folder to my local
temp-folder.
I get the filename, create a destination path and put the remote file in
the local folder. This seems to work (there is a file by that name in my
temp folder), but when I go to this copied stack I get an “this file is not
a stack”-error.
What am I doing wrong?
here’s my script:
on mouseUp
put “myStack v1.0.0.livecode” into myRemoteFileName
put "https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/14355803/PVT/"&; myRemoteFileName
into myRemoteStackName
put "file:"&specialfolderpath("temporary")&slash into targetFile
revCopyFile myRemoteStackName, targetFile
put specialfolderpath("temporary")&slash& myRemoteFileName into
stackInTempFolder
go to stack stackInTempFolder
put the result
end mouseUp
