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)?
OK I followed your lead... I booted 2.8.1 and opened the hypercard
stack. hurray! scripts are now available.. I went thru most all buttons
that had scripts and hit tab, placed a space somewhere which I though
would force Rev to update it's script "memory" for each object...I also
repaired the buttons with syntax that was not valid current revolution
correct clean code; then did a Save As, in case possibly save as a new
stack might leave some gremlins behind... Opened in 3.0 -- huh ? Still
cannot edit scripts... interesting... but my repaired buttons were
working now without error msgs..
I tried opening again in 2.8.1, compact stack, save as again, open in
3.0... still no go...
I would call this a bug and the best way to submit it will be with my
original HC stack + the converted version... it's not an emergency so I
think I will let the Rev team deal with it. On the other hand my overall
architecture in those old days was terrible when I was a true newbie...
... each card has his own buttons when it should be a group placed as a
background for each section of the book etc... and common scripts
consolidated to a single handler in the stack script etc... so I will
probably use Jacqueline method -- "put the script of button "recipes"
does give me the script and I can copy these to new buttons and
rebuild. This old B/W stack is scary ugly than a charred California fire
swath.. so cleaning it up will be a good thing to do...
Put the script of btn "remedies"
-->
on mouseUp
go to bkgnd "Remedies"
end mouseUp
