Things I didn't know:
1) I thought I would be saving to a substack.
Substacks -- the ones embedded into a main stack -- become part of the
standalone. Executables can't save data to themselves, no matter how
many stacks they are composed of. So yeah, you need separate stacks on
disk if you want to save them.
2) I was unaware of the "shutDownRequest" handler.
Another question or two.
1) How would "StackRunner" differ from using my own splash screen?
2) How would "Revolution Player" differ from using my own splash screen?
I don't think either of these would be much different. They are both
basically splash standalones, though Rev's player has a few more
restrictions I think. But with either of these, you'd need to put your
saving instructions into each satellite stack, or else into a backscript
that you insert when your first stack opens. That's because both of
these are already built standalones, so to add any scripted behavior you
have to use another stack to store the scripts in.
3) If I use "save" verses "save as..." can I assume that the satellite
stack will be saved and the user will not be asked if he or she wants
to overwrite the existing file?
Yes. Actually, you can use "save as" too without bothering the user.
Both "save stack" and "save stack as <filepath>" just write a file to
disk. No dialog is presented unless your script puts one up.
