I'm finally getting around to forming standalones and I have some
problems in regard to both Mac and windows but to the Mac problems
first. I am working wit a Macbook pro using OS 10.6.6. I have
livecode 4.5.2,Enterprise.

1.I have a card which has a button to go to the next card. That card
has a short videoclip which is shown in the center of a window over a
background image. When the clip stops it goes to the next card. It
works fine until I make the standalone, then the first time that card
opens the movie is in the upper left of the window, only the lower
right of the movie is visible. When it ends it goes to the next card.
If I then use the keyboard arrow to return to the movie card the clip
is centered and from then on it remains centered, whether I use the
button or the keyboard to return to the movie card.?

It's hard to say without more info about your scripts. What it sounds like, as a guess, is that you have some kind of positioning handler in a preOpenCard, openCard, or some other handler, and that on the first startup the messages are locked so it doesn't run. That could cause the video positioning to fail.

Do you have any handlers that position the video?


2. I have a number of files containing short texts which are shown on
8 different cards. I response to button click the texts from
different files are shown in the same "info" text field. There are
also a number of images which are changes in response to button
clicks. It works fine until I make the standalone.

I have all the information files and the image files in a resource
folder. When I set up the Standalone setup copy files I indicate the
Resource file, but when I look at the Resource file in the content
folder of the standalone bundle only a limited number of the files in
the folder are included. Is there a limit on how many files will be
included in the standalone. If so is there an alternate approach to
solve the problem?

I'm a little confused. You mention a Resource file, but also a folder of resources. What is included in the Copy Files list exactly?
