wishful thinking the market doesn't seem to share...

try this script in your main stack...

constant backdropfilename="mybackdrop.rev"

on resume
  if there is not a stack backdropfilename then
    open stack backdropfilename -- substack of me
    set the rect of stack backbackdropfilenamedrop to the screenrect
  end if
  go to me
end resume

on suspend
  -- save anything?
  hide stack backdropfilename
end suspend

-- untested but it should work...
Hey, I needed something like this for 
the taoo loader intro booting screen!

cheers
