As a test I added a "dummy" handler to the card script of my mainstack:
on livecodeLibraryLoader -- This handler is never called. It exists to contain code that will be detected by the IDE's Standalone Builder -- to ensure certain libraries are included in the standalone. -- ensure inclusion of libURL (Internet) library put url tSomeURL into tSomeVariable post tSomeData to URL tSomeURL -- ensure including of ... end livecodeLibraryLoader And now libURL gets included using auto-detection. So it look like (at least in LC 6.7.x) that autodetection only checks the Mainstack and not substacks? That seems like a bug, but I am not in a position to test in LC 7.x or 8.x to see if that is also the case in those versions On 2/9/2016 2:25 PM, Paul Dupuis wrote: > I have run into a minor oddity.
