> What is the benefit of parsing an event rather than handling them
directly?

I need to be able to update a stack/card script in a standalone, and I
cannot because of the limit imposed. The stack script contains (mostly)
typical handlers (i.e. openStack, resumeStack, etc.) for handling messages
that are sent to the stack. If I had a 'single' handler in the script that
could handle 'all' stack messages, I 'might' be able to update the script
because the size of the script would be greatly reduced. I really wish
RunRev would allow 'some' things in a stand-alone for licensed users, or a
special license for increasing the script limit 'just a litlle'.


Yah, tough problem. I have been trying to find a way to increase those limits but no luck so far. Last year, Kevin posted to this list that they may consider some special licencing, but there was no follow up. I guess they can't justify making their operation more complicated on account of a few users.


On the other hand, I am not clear how having a single event will help you with the limits. If you can break down the scripts into functional chunks, then you can stuff them into a series of buttons or fields (hidden) and call them as needed. If you are after updating standalone-controlled stacks, it may be easier to make another standalone that opens the stack and modifies it. The standalone self can't be modified.
