That also happened to me right after I got 3.0. If I remember
correctly, everything was OK after I compacted the stack before
opening it in Rev. Of course, that meant I had to be able to open it
in HC to do that. Seems like there was something else, too. I think it
was Jacqui who put me on the right track. Not sure? It's possible I
have my problems mixed up. (sigh!)

I had something similar happen a month or two ago; a stack that had
started life in HyperCard, been converted to Revolution several
years ago. Opened in 3.0, couldn't open any scripts. But simply
"put"ing the script of any object delivered the script fine. So the
scripts are there (and as you noted you may even be able to run) but
something fouls up with the script editor so it doesn't open.
Unfortunately, I can't now recall what changed to sort this out. I
recall that I did what I immediately needed to do in 2.9 (or was it
even 2.8?) (where the script editor still worked fine) instead of
3.0. Did simply opening and resaving the stack from 2.8/2.9 fix it
(it would previously have last been saved from a much earlier
version)? Or was it a change I made in the scripts - eg I recall
that the scripts used the 'byte' as a variable, which of course in
3.0 became a reserved word.
Sorry - this was one of those times where I was under too much
pressure to be able to put any time into figuring out what was going
on, I just needed to find a workaround and get on with my work. But
if you're seeing it too, there's evidently a problem that's been
introduced, and it would be good to track it down.
