Benefits or problem splash screen

[Thomas J McGrath III]

Hello all,

I created a stack with a lot of substacks and NOW decided that I will 
need a splash screen before the Main stack loads.

I have two questions:
Q1: Is there a limit or problem with too many substacks in a mainstack? 
If so what is a safe number to work with?

Q2: Since I can't have my mainstack with substacks become a substack of 
another mainstack I created a new mainstack for the splash screen and 
after a timed animation I then open the MAIN mainstack and close the 
splash screen stack - remove from memory. Is this a safe way to do 
this? Are there any problems or benefits from doing it this way?

Since I decided after all of this work to add the splash screen I 
couldn't just make it the mainstack. I was worried about memory issues 
and about cross platform issues.

Q3: When Building the standalone how would I deal with these two 
stacks? Should they be separate builds? If not How/What should I do 
about it. Should I use the "Files for inclusion" in DB? How will that 
affect the MAIN mainstack? What about the "Make mainstack" in DB? How 
will that affect my MAIN main stack?

Thanks,

Tom
