I just discovered that if I click with the browse tool on the place where the buttons should be, the button becomes visible and the button script executes. If I save and quit LC, the buttons disappear when I launch the stack again.
Sounds like an icon ID conflict. Do what Mike suggested. Import the icons from the Icon Library into your stack and assign the new image IDs to the buttons. That way they'll stay stable.
Finally it occurs to slow-witted self to check to see if this is a minor bug in LC 5.5. I close and quit, try the same stack with "open with" set to LC 5.0.2. LC 5.0.2 launches, but the stack will not launch. I can open some other old stacks with 5.0.2. If I set the get-info to open with 5.0.2 and double click on the stack while LC 5.0.2 is running I get a message saying the stack is corrupted.
Version 5.5 has a new file format and older versions of LiveCode can't read it.
Open your stack in 5.5. Do a "Save as" and use the popdown menu in the Save dialog to choose Legacy 2.7 format. Save it that way and it will open again in 5.02.
Then go to LiveCode prefs in the Files & Memory pane and tick the option that specifies saving stacks in the same format they were in when they opened: "Preserve stack file version on stacks saved in legacy format."
Some of us have noticed this pref doesn't always stick. Mine got reset to "off" yesterday. If you see the problem again you'll have to reset the pref and do a "save as" on your stack again. Or just use your stack in 5.02 until that gets fixed.
