Edward,

The tricky thing about standalone apps on OS X is that, if you do not set the defaultFolder in the stack, the defaultFolder will be the folder where the .app bundle resides. If you do set the defaultfolder to be the folder where the stack resides, as John has shown in his example, when you create a standalone out of the stack, the defaultFolder is *inside* the .app bundle. See my note in the dictionary under defaultFolder for more details.

Regards,

Devin

I have Snow Leopard installed.The folder structure is ./Resources/map_animation.gif for a typical file I have included the open stack code and the opencard code for one of the cards. I also will include(attached) screen capture of the folders location . As I said the stack works, ie. clik on the field or button and it will go to the next cd, all the text files are read and shown but the images (gif & jpeg), audio, and one video clip do not show. Since it is showing the files it looks like it is finding the files in the folder but not showing them.
