iOS Splash Screen masks display

[Scott Morrow]

Hello Graham,

What about something like:

on openCard
     send "GoToCard" && "Card2" to me in 4 seconds
end openCard

command GoToCard pCard
     go to card pCard
end GoToCard



regards,

Scott Morrow

When the splash screen goes away, I want to show a particular card (say Card1) in the second stack, wait a short time and then move to another card (Card2) to allow the user to start work. I found that if I put a script like this into the first card:
