I figured it's a cut and paste sort of thing. I guess, then, that when you call them from a standalone Main, they still behave as substacks.
Note: I'm not used to the controls of a standalone Main stack operating on a substack with no controls, because the window of the Main is disabled. It's only because of fast processor speeds that clicking a control in a Main stack works. On my PB 1400, which only has a 133mHz proc, sometimes clicking a control in a Main just activates the window, but doesn't fire a script unless you click it _again_. ---------- > One can put preferences into a textfile with the various text handling > capabilities. ---------- That I understand. ---------- > There are many ressources on that topic online available : > the first tip of the week: > http://runrev.com/revolution/developers/articles/tipoftheweek/1.html ---------- Thank you, I missed that one.

I haven't yet seen a script that switches images and sounds in a bg group from a file. Having to toggle the docs open and closed because they cover up my work is frustrating for me. I tried printing them out, but kept running out of paper and gave up. As soon as I get space for my other computer, maybe I'll run them both, one with the docs and the other with my work. ---------- > The reason why this doesn't get answered anymore is probably that so > many people do not search, but first ask for information (and do not > ask again, because they found their answers trough searching).

I just haven't successfully replaced images (delete one and import another) in a group under script control so far. Sarah's (large) tip, which I copied into a stack, may help.
