I didn't think this was the case, but it does seem to be true.  This is
unfortunate for folks who need to modify scripts at runtime in anything
outside the development environment.  Perhaps there is a way you could store
your "changing" code in separate stacks and load the stacks as needed using
your standalone.

To Scott Raney & Company: would it make sense to add a licenseKey property
or something similar to permit creation of "licensed" standalones that can
modify scripts?  Don't know if this would make MC too accessible to folks
who haven't paid for licenses but the option to create editable scripts via
a standalone does seem legitimate.

I need to build a macOS X version of the GoTalk Overlay Software that prints
images with alpha channels. And I need to do it soon. Is there any hope?

I've pretty much given up hope of figuring out the "wont run" problem. The
previous version I had on hand does run, and its date is the same. But it
has the bug I reported earlier, where stacks opened on the second monitor
come up blank. Is this one of those problems with Jaguar you mentioned? Have
you tested 10.2.1? (I don't have it yet to try it.)


I wish you smooth sailing with 2.5,

tereza

One embedded stack is encrypted, but not the one that used the 
handler, or the one the handler was in.

I ran into several limitations in the standalone.  A standalone puts 
the program into starter kit mode.

So presumably you cannot edit a script that is over 10 lines long. 
If it's already there, it will run.  But my script was attempting to 
edit, or get, part of a script.

Also I had code stored in custom properties.

get the  of btn x
do it

This failed also if the code was longer than 10 lines.
