I suspect it'll be just fine in the standlone. I've done this a few times as I recall and haven't seen any negative consequences.

Another way of doing this -- I mention it because when I do, people often say, "I didn't know you could do that!" -- is to use the open invisible option on the substack.

I'm not clear about when a substack "exists." I want to set some custom properties in a substack from a script in the main stack, and it would be a lot handier if I could do it before issuing the "open" command for the substack. It seems to work OK during my development cycle in the IDE. But will it work (in a stack being run under the Dreamcard Player) the first time out of the box? Or do I have to issue an "open" command before Rev will know the substack exists, and where to put stuff in it?

The substack is part of the stack file, so is it true that Rev knows all about it, and properties (custom or built-in) can be set before it's opened? The IDE's own evidence is kind of mixed: the Application Browser knows the substack while it's closed, but the Inspector doesn't.
