Bonjour Yves,

ca va bien?

Attention: a substack is part of another (main) stack and if you make a 
standalone
out of that stack, not only that mainstack cannot be saved but also all 
its substacks
can't!!!

So i am sure you mean a SEPARATE stack (file) :-)

try to use a global as a marker for the fact that the "splash" has 
already been opened
for the first time :-)

Like this:

Stack A ("El splasho", also know as "THE STANDALONE" ;-):

on openstack
    global onlyonce
    if onlyonce = true then
       wait 2 secs
       quit
    else
       wait 2 secs
       toplevel stack "B"
       close stack "A"
    end if
end openstack

Right after launching the app, the global "onlyonce" IS empty
and thus <> true, but the second time not... ;-)

##########################

Now the button "Quit" in stack "B":

on mouseup
    global onlyonce
    put true into onlyonce  ### !!! see above
    save this stack
    go stack "A"
    close stack "B"
end mouseup

Hope that helps.
