I thought for a standalone if you "set the passKey of stack "x" to "y" you will be able to modify scripts. This will only be in ram. If your standalone saves the stack then do "set the password of stack to "y" before saving. If someone is scraping ram memory then you have a problem, but if someone is scraping memory you have bigger problems.

Hmmm....I hear you, that makes sense. On the flip side, as soon as I want to set the script of a button, I'm doomed to have my code remain readable. I gotta think of a workaround for why I was setting the script to begin with. Thanks MIke.
