Just after Start-up Sluggishness

Dear Sarah and others,

This is a one-stack program and there's very little in my preopenstack 
script. I'm thinking the initial sluggishness problem is on the "Start 
the Game" button, which has lots of scripting.

The “Start the Game” button has a lot of script and the first time it 
is clicked, it is slow.

The sluggishness only occurs when I click the "start the game button" 
for the FIRST time. Afterwards, everything is fast.  So how about this:

What if I write a script to click that slow button on PreOpenstack? No 
one would know. I’d be sent to the game page, but invisibly. Then I 
would write script to click the "Go to the Menu" button on the game 
page to return to the main menu. The button's script would be executed 
for the first time, and subsequent clicks on it would produce speedy 
responses. I hope.

My only problem is that both buttons say, “ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO DO 
THIS?” (or whatever) with “Yes” or “No.” What script do I write to 
click the YES in the answer dialog box? For example:

On preopenstack
Click card button “Play Game” of card “Menu”
-- (It will say “Play game?” Yes    No)
Choose YES please! (How do I write this?)
Click card button “Go to Main Menu” of card “Play Game”
-- (It will say “Go to the Menu” Yes  No)
Choose YES please! (How do I write this?)
End preopenstack

If I know how to write the script to click the yes or no option, I can 
try this out.

Thanks,

Tom
