Here is one way:

-- open current project "X"
-- create new mainstack "Y"
-- message box:
set the mainstack of stack "X" to "Y"
-- save project "Y"
-- now your old project is a substack of "Y"
-- create your splash screen on the card of stack "Y"
-- use startup, preopencard, preopenstack to display and hide the 
splash screen
-- after splash screen is finished just
hide stack "Y"
go stack "X"

Hope this helps,
