One thing you might want to keep in mind if you are running multiple
stacks off an "anchor" standalone file: Pay attention to the
destroyStack and destroyWindow settings of the stacks. Besides the
release of memory upon closing (if the above props are set to "true"),
I've also found that:
If more than one user is accessing the stacks (mulitple standalones
running on a network, for example), one user's changes are not visible
to another user (even if you explicitly do a "save this stack" on
closing the individual stacks) unless the destroyStack and
destroyWindow of the stacks are set to "true".
So the standalones, even if just a splash screen, seem to provide more
than the engine itself....
