Just a reminder to everyone that you absolutely have to read the 
PythonCard/docs/migration_guide.txt file and update your code and 
resources or you will run into problems like the one Bruce reported 
with his resource. Every PythonCard release until version 1.0 will 
likely contain API and/or resource file changes that aren't 
backwards-compatible, but the number of changes between 0.7.3.1 and 0.8 
was comparatively large, which is why I wrote the migration guide. All 
of the samples and tools included with PythonCard are always updated as 
the framework changes, so you don't have to worry about those.

from PythonCard/docs/migration_guide.txt:

Resource File Changes
The Stack class was removed, so the first line of your .rsrc.py file 
needs to have the 'stack' and 'Stack' strings replaced with 
'application' and 'Application' as shown below.

{ 'stack':{ 'type':'Stack',

to

{ 'application':{ 'type':'Application',

In addition, in your source, self.stack.app references are now just 
self.application.
