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....
