At Canela, we have tech that does this successfully and has been in production for many years. I never looked under the hood to see details so there may be things i am not aware of maybe some things that have to be done a certain way. We encrypt the code on disk, but once its loaded everything is script only stack used as a behavior. As long as a script is not running, you can set a new script of any stack, card or control, or set its behaviorscript.
I am not sure about changing the script of the main stack, never tried that, if u have to do that, that seems like too much. Stuff like this is fun to work on, and once it works its very satisfying. This is where Livecode shines.... you can do stuff that I don't think you can do with many other platforms.
