I guess this is my day for confusion. (smile) I'm not using a player
for any of this.
I have a fairly simple stack consisting of some 50 cards, each of
which has one or more images and some fields and/or buttons. Using the
bucket tool, a user may color inside the lines of the images as they
see fit - often pretty complex. Once colored, they may print portions
of the cards that I designate in the print routine; but, once the
stack is closed, all of these colorations disappear. I would like for
them to be able to Save a copy of the colorized stack under a new
name, as a document?, from the standalone. Then, as you have indicated
it can, have that copy open as a document "of" the standalone when
double clicked upon. So far, I've used:
case "Save..."
answer "Save Coloring Book?" with "Cancel" or "OK"
if it is "Cancel" then exit menuPick
save this stack
break
case "Save A Copy As..."
answer "Save a Copy of this Coloring Book?" with "Cancel" or
"OK"
if it is "Cancel" then exit menuPick
clone this stack
save stack ("Copy of "&(the effective name of this stack))
break
This kind of works, but doesn't result in a separate stack that
contains the colored images; just the same as the original, "plain"
images stack.
Thanks for all your comments.

Hi Joe,
You can save and open stacks with the same standalone. There is no
need for a player. As Richard states, you can use these stacks as
documents, in case you need to save custom properties and objects
for instance. You can even give these stacks their own extension or
file type and, with a little bit of tweaking (more on Windows than
on Mac) have them open automatically with your standalone when the
users double-clicks on them.
