Math Stack Imbalance occurs when certain invalid expressions get past the compilation portion of The Director without detection, and result during runtime in an extra numeric parameter on the stack after the expression has been evaluated. This usually occurs as a result of some kind of error in an expression, and in fact, now results in an "Invalid Expression" error which is probably a little more helpful. Take a close look at any expressions used in the statement where the error occurs and see if you can spot anything unusual. You could als post the offending line here to see if I can spot what might be wrong. As far as the image file name problem, note that if a complete pathname is not used, the pathname is considered to be relative to the location of the .film file. The film file will be generated at a location that depends on the Configure selection in the DEdit Project menu. If "Film Output Directory" is not empty, it specifies an explicit pathname (usually the location of your project, or RAM:). If "Film Output Directory" is empty, then the .film file will be located in the same directory as your script file. When you use "View" to look at an image, and then paste its name into your script, it will look at the name and the "Film Output Directory" and reduce the name to a relative specification if possible, so that your image file names will not be complete pathnames. This is desirable, because it makes it easier to move an entire directory that includes your film files and image files onto a floppy from your hard disk, or to another location on your hard disk without having to go back and readjust all of the image file names.
