Make your "Stub" stack as a sub stack of your current main Stack, which
I will call "Main" for this example.
Go through all the sub-stacks in "Main" and use the popup button in the
Basic section of the Stack Inspector to set their mainStack to "Stub".
Now set the mainStack of "Main" to "Stub".
If "Main" contains a lot of scripts that you want all sub stacks to be
able to use, you can copy them all to "Stub", but I prefer to keep the
splash screen stack almost empty, so I prefer enabling "Main" as
library stack with: start using stack "Main"
HTH,
