Well, that's a matter of taste :-)

I, personally, hide my splash-screens most of the time...

And, as you might have guessed:

hide stck "xyz"
resp.
close stack "xyz"

will do the job ;-)

Something like this in your splash screen stack:

on openstack
   wait 2 secs
   toplevel "The menu stack or whatever..."
   close stack "name of splah screen here..."
   ## close this stack won't work, since "The menu..."
   ## in now THIS stack...
   ## Have been fooled before by this ;-)
end openstack

Add a "Cancel" and "OK" button to your dialogs with a "close this 
stack" etc...
handler and open these stacks as modal:

...
modal "my very special dialog box"
...

Hope this helps..
