Standalone Build Problem

[Mike Bonner]

Yep, a substack can't be a mainstack too.

To make this work, its simple enough to just add the stack that has all
your logic and substacks to the files pane, and add code to your
splashstack stack that looks for and loads it. (go stack "path/to/stack")

Somewhere around here I have a launcher stack that I have used that I can
drag and drop stack files on.  It adds their path to the list, and from
that point I can use it to run whatever stack I wish. The same logic
applies. As long as your splashstack knows where to find a stack, and as
long as it has the right inclusions for whatever you are doing with your
stack, it should be able to open it.
